MAP, an arts and cultural platform with group exhibition 'ONCE UPON A TIME IN MALAYSIA/AL-KESAH'., is opening a 2-day arts festival to launch its activities. MAP Arts Festival includes music, art, sculpture, performances, installations, talks, workshops and art markets alongside social and individual empowerment activities. The festival is an invitation to all those who desire to listen to or be heard by their fellow citizens.
