What if we told you that this full moon, you’ll be able to witness a very special event in the heart of the nation’s capital? What if we told you that the event will feature Malaysian Indian artists from various fields discussing their craft?

Pournami Tiruvila: Full Moon Celebration is a one day art festival organised by Malaysian Indians for all Malaysians, in conjunction with the ongoing art exhibition, Banana Leaf: A Celebration of Malaysian Indian Arts & Culture.

Banana Leaf is possibly the largest Malaysian Indian art exhibition held to date, with artists from our community showcasing their work in various mediums of art. The Pournami Tiruvila, held on Sunday, the 13th of October at GMBB, Kuala Lumpur, will feature talks, screenings and performances by prominent Malaysian Indian artists.

The highlights of the Pournami Tiruvila are talks by photographer Thevasree Krisnan, documentary photographer Mogan Selvakannu, fine-art artist Mona KV, digital concept artist Rames Harikrishnasamy as well as multidisciplinary artists Dhinesha Karthigesu and Veshalini Naidu. Goodkids Malaysia, a social enterprise is collaborating with the children of Sivananda Home, for a drum performance, titled When Bells Meet Buckets. There will also be a session on projection mapping and relaxing Indian music by ChunkyMunky and Arcis Digital.

Among the artists exhibiting at Banana Leaf are Daniel Adams and Catherhea. The duo have conceptualised and curated a series of photographs featuring melanin rich subjects, aptly called DARK SKIN IS ______________.  This photography series challenges under-representation of dark skinned people by featuring dark skinned people of all genders, sizes and abilities. For this exhibit, the audience is invited to share their thoughts about dark skin and complete the title with post-it notes. Catherhea will be giving a talk entitled Diversity in Beauty at 6pm.

If you miss the Pournami Tiruvila, don’t forget to check out Banana Leaf, the art exhibition itself, which goes on until the 20th of October.

Banana Leaf is open to people of all ages. The organiser, Ruby Subramaniam, tells us that students are welcome to visit the exhibition. “Last Sunday, the students of Sri Sunthara Ganesar Sunday School visited us, and they had a blast talking to the various artists about their work,” Ruby tells us that she and the other artists spoke to the kids about the message behind their art. “This allowed the kids to understand a little more about the various forms of art,” she tells us.
