When words cannot describe, art does. No matter the medium.In this Atap Assembly, we explore how illustrations help convey not just an idea but also a form of activism. Join us for an evening of raw and creative prowess featuring two talented and much-adored individuals, Qiyun (@theweirdandwild) and Hafi (@hahahafi), who have harnessed the power of art and design to drive change in the realms of environmental conservation and cultural preservation.We will be hosting an intimate conversation with this awe-inspiring duo, who will share their personal journeys and insights as to how their artistic expression has become an extension of their work in pushing for activism.
