Like many local industries, the Malaysian arts and culture sector has gone through several upheavals in 2020 - first, with the sudden entry of the Perikatan Nasional government, and then, to a larger extent, by the global COVID-19 pandemic. As the industry begins the process of regrouping, what are some possible ways forward? We speak to Datuk Ramli Ibrahim, dancer, choreographer, and founder of the Sutra Foundation, for his thoughts.
