IAMM 'Oceans That Speak' Book Talk

About the Session

“How did the tughra, the Ottoman royal signature, make its way to the Malay world?"

The Malay world has long been a crossroads of cultures, with Islamisation reshaping its artistic and cultural landscape. Pre-Islamic decorative motifs evolved into new forms under Islamic influence, creating a rich tapestry of exchange and adaptation. Over centuries, these cultural transformations were shaped by the oceans and those who navigated them.

Join Siti Marina Mohd Maidin, curator and writer of Oceans that Speak, as she unravels the intricate exchanges that define the Malay world today.

The exhibition catalogue is available for purchase at RM156 during the exhibition period.
