ALENA Murang is an artist from Sarawak who delves into Sarawakian culture throughout her work; playing the ‘sape’, singing in the endangered ‘Kenyah’ & ‘Kelabit’ languages, and dances the hornbill dance. She writes songs, performs, teaches, and paints, making her a multi-disciplinary artist. She aims to improve and deepen Malaysians understanding of Dayak culture as well as to encourage others to learn about their own heritage and to showcase ‘traditional music’ as contemporary and relevant.
From the series 'An Illuminated Road', a project on 20 creative individuals who are making an impact on Malaysian society and who are generating change.
