‘My work is a love letter to travel – an open invitation to step outside your comfort zone and see the world through someone else’s eyes,’ says Sense, who has added a Malaysian flavour to his new series of paintings. Photo: The Star/Samuel Ong

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.
