Alice Smith School welcomed the international school community within Southeast Asia to experience and participate in the SEASAC Arts Festival 2017. Over 170 students and teachers from the SEASAC (South East Asia Student Activities Conference) community came together for a range of innovative arts workshops and excursions unified under the concept of Urban Identity.
The theme Urban Identity explores the Malaysian cultural identity and its influence on the identity of a city, town or village. The cultural identity of the main three races here in Malaysia is woven into a multi-cultural fabric we call our Urban Identity. Different approaches, traditions and beliefs co-exist and makes up the modern Kuala Lumpur of today.
The festival and theme aims to provide an insight to this diversity and complexity of Malaysian identity through arts and creativity. The fun-filled and exhilarating three days consists of activities, sightseeing around the city and a handful of cultural shows and workshops for students to explore. The festival ended on a high-note with a vocal workshop where students were taught to sing the Malaysian classic friendship song, “Enjit-Enjit Semut” to take home with them.
