Embracing Impermanence?

A Bit of Culture returns this week with two cool guests - playwright, writer and translator Adriana Nordin Manan, in her second appearance on the show, choose to reflect on the duty of an artist, and whether they have to carry the burden of changing society via their craft, while writer and researcher on arts and architecture, Lim Sheau Yun talks about Oppenheimer and the foundation of American anti-science. Meanwhile, our host Kam Raslan reflects on whether we should embrace impermanence, rather than obsessing over preservation. It’s an episode that you don’t want to miss!
