For many arts practitioners, the law is often considered a confusing grey area – in cases where they’re treated unfairly, most don’t know what their rights are or what legal recourse they can take.

This is where the "Art X Law" outreach hopes to step in. The pilot project – led by lawyers Fahri Azzat and Raul Lee Bhaskaran with support from artist/deejay Nicholas Choong – is an experimental initiative to provide legal advice (pro bono, of course) and redress the interests of vulnerable Malaysian artists.
