Inventing Malaysia (11am - 7pm)
Constructions of Malaya from the Colonial to the Present Era

TheOtherMalaysia and Dr Farish A Noor present a simple exhibition of posters and images that looks at how notions of race, ethnicity and "native identity" - from culture to sexuality - were invented from the colonial era to the present.

Inventing Malaysia will include lectures, exhibition of archival materials and film screenings of movies about Malaya/Malaysia shot from 40s, 50s & 60s, looking at how Malaya was perceived from the Occidental worldview (Lord Jim, starring Peter O Toole; The Pirate of Malaya, starring Steve Reeves; Outpost in Malaya, starring Claudette Colbert; Malaya, starring Spencer Tracy).
