Pollination 4: the palms of y/our hands 

Pollination 4: the palms of y/our hands is a cross-border exhibition that traces memories, migration, and everyday rituals between Yangon in Myanmar, and Penang. Centred on friendship and shared storytelling, it brings together artists, curators, and communities from across Southeast Asia in a tender reflection of these themes. We speak to co-curator Mark Teh, artist Okui Lala, and collaborator Steven Nyi Nyi, a migrant worker from Myanmar who spent 25 years of his life in Malaysia, to talk about the stories behind the exhibition, and how it came to life.
