Pangrok Sulap Live Printmaking
This project is sponsored by the UT College of Arts and Sciences, the UT School of Art, the UT Department of English and the Denbo Center for Humanities & the Arts, in partnership with an AsiaNetworks Asian Embodied Learning Grant, and Scripps College (Los Angeles).
Pangrok Sulap, a Malaysian community-collective from Borneo will be in Knoxville for two-weeks in March 2025 leading up to the Big Ears Music Festival. Pangrok Sulap includes “artists, musicians and social activists with a mission to empower rural communities and the marginalized through art.” “Pangrok” is the local pronunciation of “punk rock”, and “Sulap” is a hut or a resting place usually used by farmers in Sabah, Borneo. Artists Adi Helmi Bin Jaini and Zayrul Rizo Bin Osman Leong will collaborate with students and faculty from the University of Tennessee in the creation of a large scale, community-printed woodcut. Accompanied by drumming, Pangrok Sulap prints are created through community participation. In addition to their exhibit at RED Gallery, the collective will be doing live printmaking sessions throughout the festival weekend at Knoxville Museum of Art’s South Garden.
