Penang Int Container Art Festival

The latest container art installation of the inaugural Penang International Container Art Festival (PICAF) 2020 is unveiled at Balik Pulau to celebrate Penang’s vibrant arts scene. The container art installation at Balik Pulau is set on the sprawling paddy fields of Kampung Terang, where murals by Sarawakians Leonard Siaw and Jagung as well as Russian artist Marat Danilyan (a.k.a. Morik) are on display. The murals on the container art installation are visual stories of Balik Pulau's quaint lifestyle, the town’s agriculture industries as well as its street-hawker scene. The much-buzzed-about festival showcases five pop-up container art installations with murals drawn by 12 international and local artists. These container art installations are spread across five locations on the island and the mainland. It is the first festival in Asia to feature urban art on container installations. #summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
