MAP Fest (Melaka) – Traces of Transformation
MAP inspiration for this year’s Traces of Transformation
the Other: the Other is dissimilar to and the opposite of Self, of Us, and of the Same.
Making your event/performance here calls for de-habitualizing and de-narcissifying. Perhaps a new courage is required for the risk of discovering the Other.
The Programs
- These are the 4 platforms the festival provides. You can participate in all events, or just in Special events alone.
1 > MAPPING + Collaboration pods Daytime site-specific (works of up to 30min or extended to one hour. This is outdoors during the daytime on specific sites. Sound system will be provided. Sites: all around the hill and below)
