For artist Tan Zi Hao‘s solo show at A+ WORKS of ART (6 – 27 July, 2024), titled The Tongue Has No Bones, I contributed an epistolary essay that offers a fictive lens through which one can approach the topics of lingual betrayal, the colonial history of tongues, and nationalist language policy that continue to shape the socio-racial fabric of Malaysia. Printed copies of the catalog can be purchased through A+ WORKS of ART.
