the Cyberjaya
Art Graffiti
by MMU students. It featured international artists Fahla Fadhillah Lotan (Dila) and R. Bonar
Diat Senan Putro (Otong), who are members of Thedeo MIXBLOOD, as a prelaunch for AxF 2018. This event is the first of its kind to be held in
Cyberjaya and the event was based on an idea initiated by the MMU students to
express Cyberjaya in a futuristic and joyful manner.
“In this joint effort, exceptional artists brought by MMU were commissioned to create masterpieces that will add vibrancy to Cyberjaya. This is the very first time we are doing graffiti art in Cyberjaya and it is our hope that through these creative expressions, students will be able to build self-confidence and self-esteem. The Cyberjaya Art Graffiti also provides a platform to showcase talents and skills in a positive manner,” explained Ahmad Soalahuddin, Head of Business Development Division of Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd.

“We are very pleased to have international participation in this art festival. Experimental artist duo Dilla and Otongwho flew in from Yogyakarta to join the art expression festival, brought with them their valuable experience working on art installations and exhibitions worldwide,” said the Founder of Art Xpression Festival, Ms. Atiqah Jani.
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.
