A hilarious TikTok musical about nasi lemak (yup, the country’s national dish), a virtual comedy-variety show, an actor who embarks on creative masterclasses in her bid to become the true triple threat and a documentary on Malaysia s national blind football team.
That’s just a sampling of the upcoming two-day digital arts festival called KLoud Fest, which premieres on March 19.
KLoud Fest, organised by non-profit organisation DiverseCity in partnership with Malaysian-British arts group Liver & Lung, will be streamed via the festival’s website.
“What we aim to do through this festival, despite the challenges of the pandemic, is capacity building in the creative economy to ensure future resilience, ” says Datin Seri Sunita Rajakumar, DiverseCity founder.
