The idea of an art exhibition, supported by a local community, outside the confines of Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya is always an appealing one. A road trip and a new out-of-town place to experience art is most welcome in these post-pandemic days.
I Like This Place, a printmaking art exhibition and community programme by Sharon Chin, is one such rare show. It is a project about a small mangrove beach located in the Jalan Rumah Rehat area in Batu 1, Port Dickson in Negri Sembilan.
