An international exhibition blending art, history, and hands-on experiences \u2014 with weekend workshops, live art, and creative marketplaces at The Linc KL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lai Lai Art Gallery presents Kita Orang Art Exhibition 2025: Blue & White 400, a global art showcase now opens at The Linc Kuala Lumpur. This landmark exhibition features 400 artists from over 20 countries, their participation inspired by \u2014 and in celebration of \u2014 the 400th<\/sup>  anniversary of the Wanli Shipwreck, a Portuguese vessel that sank off the coast of Terengganu carrying blue-and-white porcelain from Jingdezhen, China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe story of the Wanli Shipwreck connects Malaysia to a rich web of cultural exchange across centuries,\u201d said Alice Chang<\/strong>, internationally renowned artist and founder of Lai Lai Art Gallery. \u201cBringing together 400 artists symbolises that same spirit of connection. Through the universal language of blue and white, we hope to bridge people, cultures, and time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curated by Calvin Chua<\/strong>, Chairman of the Malaysian Watercolour Society, Zaki Hadri<\/strong>, President of Angkatan Pelukis Se-Malaysia (APS), and Alice Chang, the exhibition presents paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media installations that interpret the theme of \u201cBlue & White\u201d through diverse cultural lenses. Recognised under the UNESCO Silk Roads Programme, the Wanli Shipwreck stands as a testament to centuries of trade and artistic influence between East and West \u2014 themes that the exhibition reimagines in contemporary form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors can also explore the Kita Orang Creative Marketplace, featuring handcrafted art pieces, wearable designs, artisanal candles, and local crafts from Malaysian creatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKita Orang means \u2018We, the People,\u2019\u201d added Alice. \u201cThis exhibition isn\u2019t just about showcasing art \u2014 it\u2019s about creating opportunities for connection, curiosity, and collaboration through creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
