Season 4 is here! Oral traditions are an important part of the cultural identity of many Southeast Asian countries, but their ephemeral state leaves them vulnerable for future generations.
Malaysian artist-researcher duo Ambi Sun and Sha Roose join us to talk about the oracle deck they are creating “Tales & Oracles of Eleven - Mythology from Southeast Asia”. The oracle deck features 44 legends from 11 Southeast Asian countries including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, East Timor (Timor Leste), and Vietnam. By turning the folktales we grew up hearing from our parents, grandparents, and cultural elders, the duo hopes to ensure these tales are not lost or forgotten over time.
Sun tells us about the biases she has faced as an Asian female artist, while Sha talks about her experience living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
