The ILHAM Art Show 2025

Three years ago, ILHAM Gallery launched a new platform to encourage Malaysian artists to dream big - to experiment, to take risks, to create something entirely new. That platform became The ILHAM Art Show, and this year, it’s back with its second edition, featuring twenty artists and collectives whose works explore everything from memory and identity, to nature and the future. We speak to Rahel Joseph, the Director of ILHAM Gallery, to find out about the works we'll see at the exhibition from both emerging and established Malaysian artists.
