3/3—The artists of Cipta Cita share about their relationship with language Hamed Ismail: “Malay is my mother tongue. It is my tool for communication, comprehension and understanding of meaning and nuances. There are always two layers of the language: the lateral and the literal. What I enjoy most about is how it helps me to explore the beauty of subtexts and metaphors, as well as the senses and emotions of mankind.” • Held during bulanbahasa (Malay language month), Cipta Cita celebrates the Malay language through poetry, music and theatre. Check out the programmes both live and online, 🔗 in bio. • 📸: 4statine_ Slide 2: Performance of “Sajak Kemerdekaan” • #esplanadesg #mydurian #ciptacita #bulanbahasa2021
