Atiqah added, “I visited Yogyakarta in January this year to see places and ideas where Yogyakarta is famous for their art expressions on the wall. It was such an inspiring journey to visit their previous community art project for villagers called as Jeblog Street Art and was invited to join their art project entitled ‘Don’t Sleep Away Oh Baby, Stay With Me’.  The artists will be touring several venues in Malaysia such as Cyberjaya for their upcoming exhibition tour during the AxF 2018. The artists will also be meeting up with various Malaysian artists for their forthcoming tour which is also expected to be held in Brunei, Singapore and also Thailand.”

The Cyberjaya Art Graffiti kicked off with 110 students working together to complete 5C- signs that will be adorning prominent areas in Cyberjaya and other wall murals that can be seen at The Launchpad a co-working space by Setia Haruman and The Place.
