Really grateful to @klartbookfair for the invitation to screen The Dye(ing) Resistant Process in KL. Thank you to everyone who came, stayed, and hold space for the work. Your presence and encouragement made it feel full. This film has been a five year journey, documenting not only Dato Tay's living legacy and the evolution of his batik practice, but also the unexpected relationship that formed along the way. In tracing his process, I found myself tracing my own growth. Learning, unlearning, and expanding beside him. @klartbookfair continues to be a rare space that honours stories, craft and community. See you next year! #klabf # klabf2025 #thedyeingresistantprocess #karafuruvisuals

🎬✨ Last Thursday was a night to remember! We were honored to finally screen our works with the legendary Dato Tay Mo Leong. The evening was filled with inspiration, creativity, and an incredible sense of community. Thank you to everyone for the continuous encouragement throughout this journey. This is just a beginning, and we can’t wait to share more with you all! 🌟 Special thanks to Cheah Ni from Georgetown Festival, Penang Institute for the venue, and Penang Watercolor Society for helping us make this screening happen. We also deeply appreciate Mr. Lee Khai for connecting us to Mo Leong which started this journey, and @yapsau for moderating the session. 📸 by @ccthum14 #DatoTayMoLeong #thedyeingresistantprocess #karafuruvisuals #georgetownfestival2024 #batikart #documentary #artistjourney #penang
