This exhibition is an ode to the people of Penang, a collective effort by individuals whom together share this island we call home, Penang is definitely not just a place for retirement, but to live, play, make and inspire.Kompleks Tunku Abdul Razak (KOMTAR) Completed construction during the late eighties, as part of a master plan to modernise the city of George Town. After twenty odd years, KOMTAR, an icon of Penang, remains abandon in many ways, some call it the white elephant, we name it THELOSTGIANT as it has lost its key directions and remains lost in the heart of George Town, Penang. It’s presents forever stamped in our collective memory.
Penang is known for many things, it’s street food, hospitality, street art, heritage, everything is within arms reach, nothing too far, the weather is an eternal summer, a melting pot of culture. It has been sited among one of best place for retirement in Forbes.
Much have been said and blab about this wonderful island, yet everyday we hear stories of lost hopes and shattered dreams that saddens our inner soul, and question us on the reason to stay on this island we call home. What should we do to protect what we hold dear of, to think forward and take action to not let Penang fall into the faith of becoming just another disneyfied city.

I enjoyed your post and felt drawn into your world, which is what I love so much about blogging. That you can sort of travel without leaving home. In Australia we have two tourist towns which are about an hour apart and yet so different in flavour. The Gold Coast, which includes Surfers Paradise is on the Queensland side and is so touristy and everything is fast, flashy nad to be honest pretty fake. Of course, this is generalising but its very image conscious and and as you put it Disney. JUst an hour South in New South Wales, you have yron Bay which was historically a hippy Mecca linked up to Nimbin, which is about an hour inland. During the 60s-80s Byron Bay was the ultimate hippy destination and people would chuck their jobs in and head for Byron and Nimbin. Byron Bay has become quite expensive and yuppified these days but it still has this natural focus and people tend to eat organic foods, grow their own veg and are quite conscious about the environment. It is certainly less image conscious or just has a more relaxed image. People talk about “Byron time” because people people are so chilled out there. Byron Bay has escaped the Disney invasion through strong local activism and the local council. The community seems to have taken a stand. Yes, there are elements but Byron hasn’t lost its sense of self.
By the way, as an artist, you would love Byron Bay. Inspiration plus!! xx Rowena
