May 13, 1969, is the biggest scar on the Malaysian psyche and there is a school of thought that says it should be left firmly in the distant past. However, as a society, we cannot learn if we do not face up to the dark chapters in our history.
The 'May We' exhibition sees a group of young people exploring the current generation's perspectives on May 13. Determined to go beyond a few facile sentences in history textbooks, they took it upon themselves to examine the incident from a variety of collated memories, artefacts and documents, culminating in an exhibition.
