KongsiKL manager Low Pey Sien, 29, will look back on her lockdown time with fond memories, documenting her stay at the warehouse-turned-arts space on Jalan Klang Lama in KL.

The Kuantan-born KL-based artist made KongsiKL her home for 75 days (from April 1 to June 14). Her experiment was to rough it out and test KongsiKL’s viability as an arts residency venue. She also uploaded regular updates on KongsiKL's social media.
