At Zhan Art Space in Petaling Jaya, the duo exhibition Rojak explores the creative collision of two artists from different disciplines and continents, resulting in a sensory feast of visuals, sounds, and shared stories.

Nigel Sense, an Australian artist who calls Penang home when not travelling, and Jean Tong, a Malaysian writer and theatre/screen director based in Melbourne, have teamed up for a cross-cultural exploration in Rojak.
