- FAiR : Frugal Artist-in-Residence Programme
FAiR’s vision is to empower marginalised coastal fishing communities in Malaysia by implementing innovative STEAM initiatives that address the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By collaborating with local artists, FAiR aims to enhance current understandings and practices in environmental awareness and conservation.
This approach has the potential to greatly advance how art-based interventions can effectively engage and mobilise communities, inspire meaningful transformation, and drive sustainable initiatives. By harnessing creative and resourceful practices, and building on well-established research and successful outcomes from previous funded projects, FAiR ensures both quality and relevance, positioning itself at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary research impact.
Our Malaysian team is composed of a highly talented group of individuals, with Jacey-Lynn leading the team from UNIMAS, supported by Aazani, Leonard, Noorhaslina, and Jane. We are fortunate to have Angelina Bong as our local artist-in-residence, adding a distinct creative dimension to our work. The broader project is guided by Professor Sylvester and his team, including Petros and Alex. Collectively, we have assembled a well-rounded and adaptable team, ideally positioned to make meaningful contributions to this initiative.
