Pragya Borar

ARTIST BIO

Pragya is a self-taught mixed media artist. She started playing with colors at the age of 5. Art is symphony of her life and her self expression. Through her art she likes to discover her boundless inner creativity and passion, as she constantly strives to communicate her inner self through it.

Kristine Huang

ARTIST BIO

“透過繪畫，我把自己一一拼整回來，表達一則則烙印在心裡的故事。”Ting Wei Huang 就讀美國洛杉磯時尚設計學院主修時尚設計，並在2015年赴義大利佛羅倫斯Polimoda 服裝設計與行銷管理學院進修。Ting Wei的繪畫就像一篇篇的日記，藉由顏色的變化與柔軟的線條來敍說故事

Ting Wei Huang studied at FIDM in Los Angeles, USA, and majored in Fashion Design. In 2015, Ting Wei moved abroad and attended Polimoda Fashion Institute in Florence, Italy, and majored in fashion design. Ting Wei’s paintings are portrayed through the style of journal entries. She tells stories through changing color shades and elegant lines.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Ting Wei Huang作品傾向於傳達自我探討的意義與意象。擅長放大細微的感覺，抽象具體繁雜的內容，擁抱這份觸動，在創作裡享受著，跳舞與歌唱… 從小就愛繪畫的她, 藉由繪畫藝術傳達如何面對自己、了解自己，進而接受自己的過程。透過反覆動作的描繪手筆，不斷產生矛盾與掙扎，勾勒出她內心深處那些想被看見的輪廓。Ting Wei希望她的藝術作品可帶給人們一份喘息和沈澱的空間，靜下來去感受與擁抱生命中的美好。
Ting Wei Huang’s works are based on introspection. From abstract concepts to concrete stories, the content of her paintings consistently brings forth a variety of intricate details. While indulging in dancing and singing, the pure enjoyment lies within each creating process. Ting Wei found her love and passion in painting since a young age. The art of painting and creating provides a leeway for Ting Wei to dive into self-acceptance, self-understanding, and eventually, self-affirmation. Through her paintings she has tried to reflect her different feelings from happiness to struggle, she hopes that her work of art can make people embrace the real beauty of life.

maf red room活動主旨

馬來西亞的音樂圈依然還在發展,雖然不如台灣或是大陸來得盛行,但是還有
音樂創作人繼續走在音樂的道路上,也不斷有人在推動音樂風氣的發展。像是馬來西
亞的獨立音樂圈年度盛會《動態度音樂節》,讓更多人發現馬來西亞獨立音樂創作人
的存在。又或是近年出現的《JUST PLAY 簡單玩》巡演、《居鑾在動》等等,為了團
結唱作人、創作人、甚至是藝文工作者,在沒有掙扎利益與行銷、媒體的偏見或是強
勢的商業集團壓榨下,實踐分享藝術的舞台
音樂創作不應該是獨自躲在房間裡彈彈唱唱,而應該是站在舞台上將作品呈現
個聽眾。第二屆馬來西亞旅台藝術節將範圍縮小在詞曲創作裡,提供馬來西亞旅台留
學生一個發表音樂創作的平台,藉此也讓創作者擁有互相交流的機會。

活動主題

“Music make world unite”.
音樂分門別類多樣化,這都是因為後人或是唱片公司的系統化。
但是音樂也是一種語言,讓各地的人能透過語言來溝通,了解彼此,分享心情。
我們能為音樂感動,也為音樂瘋狂。
雖然我們在台灣留學,但是心繫大馬。我們關心馬來西亞的一切。
“零距離”代表的是我們的音樂,也代表我們的心。

Event Mission

Malaysia’s music scene is developing, and though it is not yet as bustling as the Taiwanese and Chinese industries, there are many music creators following their musical paths and many others pushing the development of music evolution. For instance, Malaysia’s annual independent music event “Dongtaidu Music Festival” helps raise awareness for independent music producers from Malaysia. Or, more recently, events such as “JUST PLAY Music Tour” and “Kluang Rocking” have created a platform for singers, writers, and art practitioners to cooperate without profit pressure, media bias, or industry exploitation.

Music creation should not just be a mere hobby hidden away in a bedroom, but fully manifested as an on-stage performance sharing work with an audience. The 2nd annual Malaysia Art Festival in Taiwan will – through the platform of song and lyric writing – provide a platform for Malaysian exchange students in Taiwan to create and interact.

Event Theme

“Music make world unite”.

Music has been split into different categories and genres all because of the systemization implemented by outsiders and record labels.

But music is also a language that allow people everywhere to communicate, to understand each other, and to share their feelings.
We can be moved by music, and we can be driven to a frenzy by music.

Although we are studying in Taiwan, but our hearts are tied to Malaysia. We care deeply for Malaysia and everything about it.

“Zero distance” represents our music, but also our hearts.
