ABOUT US

Malaysia is on a unique path to reform – a path that has been paved by local talent, community leaders, and a colorful media landscape. Our festival aims to critically explore the challenges and opportunities digital media provides for religious harmony through a roster of activities including forums, workshops, performances and showcases of our Diverse Voices Grant Winners.

 

As the pandemic has affected a big part of our social lives, we want to engage an online audience with a virtual festival that celebrates a digital future and a diverse Malaysia. The festival will be happening between the 29th of December 2020 and 1st of January 2021, culminating in a New Year’s Eve Countdown on December 31st to end the current year with a bang and begin the new year on a positive note.
