#FestivalHighlight. Pondok by the Interior Architecture students of the Malaysian Institute of Arts (MIA) is a visual arts installation commissioned for YSDAF 2025.

The idea of a pondok — a small, humble shelter — serves as a powerful symbol of community, unity, and shared joy within a neighbourhood.

In this modest space, the installation invites us to reflect on the warmth of coming together, where strangers become friends and bonds are built like family — reminding us that even the simplest of structures can hold the richest connections.
