The Bank Negara Museum and Art Gallery is hosting a group art exhibition which is featuring the works of established contemporary artists of Malaysia and Indonesia. The show is entitled Bersama which means together which will be depicting the very notion of collaboration between artists of the 2 neighbouring countries.
It is a common practice and perception that art is the most common bridge that connects culture together and that is what the gallery is setting out to do with this show.

This exhibition seeks to portray the similarities of the artists backgrounds and methods where both the nations share as well as the differences in art forms. It is in collaborations like this are dialogues and conversation of the arts are clearly seen and exhibited where artists from both sides have always looked to for ideas, inspiration and techniques while knowledge and technology transfer between them have been quite a common practice as well.
