“Bapaku Pulang: Growing Up with Art - Selected works from the collections of Nazura Rahime & Sharmin Parameswaran” is an exhibition that features artworks by 39 Malaysian modern and contemporary artists. Curated by Sarah Abu Bakar, the show brings together selected artworks collected by Nazura and Sharmin’s late fathers - Rahime Harun (1954–2008) and Dato’ N. Parameswaran (1948–2022). Both art curators themselves now, we catch up with Nazura and Sharmin to hear their stories of growing up surrounded by art, the influence their parents had on their own subsequent journeys into the world of visual arts, and why they are collaborating to show the world pieces from their late fathers’ private collections.
