Creatures with their digital art instillation, School of Design's
Final Project March 2007 from Kolej Damansara Utama entitled Past
Forward, and Little Penang's very own "The Gallery", showcasing
three talented artists.
The Gallery at LPSM Showcasing
local artists including: Essence – a digital revival of the Orient Essence is a showcase of arts by five artists from Penang, Kuala Lumpur and France, whose works can be translated as a love for Penang food, culture and people, the Core of The Pearl of the Orient. It expresses the amazement, appreciation and love theses young people have for the island.
The final year project is related to Penang's heritage. Students were taken on a field trip to the historic centre of the city told to pick a local site to promote and at Beach Street, to pick a site to design light sculptures to brighten the street. The
Exhibition will give Penangites an insight into how their city impacts
on the young, and what the young feel the city requires. Live Music at Little Penang!

Such is the wide range and sweep of his work that it has been used by Amnesty International, National geographic, UNDP, UNESCO, WWF, Oxfam, Third World First and the World Council of Churches Several poems, such as ‘Statistics’, ‘When the Tourists Flew in’, and ‘The Animal and Insect Act’ have found their way into the curriculum of human rights, tourism, third world, environmental and development studies. Cecil’s writing career has not been without controversy. He has been subject to some of the vicious and vituperative attacks by local critics and manqué academics. Police reports have been lodged against his work (alleging sedition); he has been served ‘show cause’ letters, interrogated on several occasions by CID police and the Special Branch; and in 1993 his passport was impounded by the authorities ostensibly for his anti-logging activities which in reality was a body of work about the destruction of our rainforests. A young journalist who once attempted to put his work into perspective received a death threat! In 2005, Cecil Rajendra was the first ever recipient of the Malaysian Lifetime Humanitarian Award for his legal aid work and his inspirational poetry. Flash Trash! Reduce, reuse & recycle – an exhibit of desirable things made from trash.
Shirley Awe from KDU, firmly believes that care and understanding are the most important elements when guiding students. Once students trust you, there will be space for them to grow. Shirley and her students will have a recycling stall with demonstrations on turning trash to beautiful and saleable items. All proceeds go to charity. __________________________________ |

What
do local businesses throw away? What do you throw away? What things
do you collect when you go out? Shopping bags? Boxes? Plastic bottles?
When you do something, do you create waste? Does the waste have any
potential value? Recycle & reuse more, pay less!
