About this Event

Look Closer is a half-day open festival bringing together an insect watercolour artist, a puppet-making duo from Yogyakarta, and a walk-in exhibition for a morning of making, observing, and encountering the natural world differently.

The morning runs as an open house. Pre-registered participants join one of two hands-on workshops. Walk-in visitors move freely through a free exhibition featuring work by five artists, an introduction to Nikoi and Cempedak Private Islands, and the Ubah Rumah artist residency programme. A short self-guided audio tour (accessed via QR code at the entrance) takes you through five stations at your own pace.
