Connecting with Refugees Through the Arts

The fourth edition of the annual Refugee Festival will bring artists from the refugee community to different communities that may not typically have access to the festival. The festival also brings together refugee and Malaysian artists to present their works together. We speak with the festival’s director Mahi Ramakrishnan about how the event continues to evolve as it provides a valuable voice to the displaced people who make Malaysia their homes.
