Welcome to the “chapter baru” (new chapter) of Hikayat Rakyat. Art For Grabs + KL Alternative Bookfest forms a pakatan (alliance) once again with The Cooler Lumpur Festival to take over Publika Mall with 50 art & craft booths, 25 indie publishers, and NGO booths featuring bold youth and children advocates. The event also collaborates with UNICEF Malaysia, EU Delegation and EU Member States in Malaysia, Buku Fixi, and The Cooler Lumpur Festival to present book launches, movie screenings, panel discussions, youth manifestos, and powerful performances.
