The arts are more than entertainment, they’re how we tell our stories, preserve our culture, and imagine our future. But in Malaysia, the arts sector continues to face chronic underfunding and policy neglect. ReformARTsi is calling for change, from better arts education and funding, to a dedicated Ministry for Arts and Culture. Joining us are Ali Alasri and Aishah Shafiq from ReformARTsi, to share what’s missing in Malaysia’s arts ecosystem, and how we can build a sustainable creative future for all.
