EXHIBITION

Brought to you by a like-minded bunch from the Narrow Marrow community, ever eager to brain-flush their thoughts, emotions, and the occasional philosophical nonsense (emphasis on philosophical, of course).

Originally conceived as a community zine project, it’s essentially an experimental mixtape in print: raw, unfiltered, and delightfully chaotic. There’s no grand curation here, just a glorious absurdity of anything printable; writings, essays, short stories, plays, scripts, code, advertisements, poetry, lyrics, drawings, doodles, sketches, collages, photos (if it fits on a page, it gets in).

This issue, titled reStart, leaks off the printed page and splatters unapologetically into the real, physical world. It’s a group show made up of Penang artists, plus one George Town artist (yes, apparently that’s a thing). Expect a heady mash-up of new and old works: seasoned fermentations from familiar names, stirred together with a bold dash of first-timers. Altogether, it’s a savoury spread of tropical spice, definitely compatible with local tastebuds but very likely to cause a bit of tummy trouble for Far West Asians (think Nasi Kandar banjir levels of unexpected intensity).
