About the
Exhibition
Step into a global story of art, history, and imagination.
Kita Orang: Blue & White 400 unites 400 artists from 20+ countries to mark the 400th anniversary of the Wanli Shipwreck — a Portuguese vessel that once carried thousands of blue-and-white porcelain treasures across the seas.
Through paintings, digital works, mixed media, and more, each artist reinterprets the timeless beauty of blue-and-white in their own way. Recognised under the UNESCO Silk Roads Programme, the exhibition shines a light on Malaysia’s role in global history while celebrating unity, resilience, and cultural connection.

“Kita Orang” means “We, the People” — a platform where art is for everyone, without borders or limits.
