As We See It: History through Visual Design

We might balk at the thought that some of the advertisements or posters we see around us now might be in a gallery one day, but that’s exactly what Malaysian Design Archive are doing. They’ve collected propaganda posters, magazines and everyday objects that go back as far as the late 19th century to survey our nation’s visual culture. This exhibition gives us a look into the evolution of the cultural shifts our nation has seen over the past century or so and how it has shaped us today.
