Instead of sitting around and discussing the continued under-representation of women in Kuala Lumpur’s contemporary art scene, a group of young and emerging female visual artists have taken pro-active measures to get their art out.

A collective called Cerebral V – featuring artists like Christine Das, Jasmine Kok, Lisa Foo, Poojitha Menon and Yante Ismail – has collaborated on a group exhibition called Facets.
