ILHAM CONVERSATIONS

MAY 13

A letter from a father to a son studying in boarding school. First-day issue stamps commemorating National Unity Week. A ticket to horse races at the Penang Turf Club. An electricity bill — excavated detritus from junkyard sales, old keepsakes, and chance findings that were all born in a fateful year. In this special talk, Ong Kar Jin explores the whispers of these objects; through their creases lie a space revealed by shadows, witnessed by marginalia.
