About the event:
In conjunction with the ‘Oceans That Speak’ exhibition, the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia invites you to participate in a workshop on making your own traditional shadow puppets, a hands-on experience in creating life-sized wayang kulit figures, reflecting the scale of performance puppets, while also learning the techniques in assembling the tunes needed for a wayang kulit performance using traditional musical instruments.
