THELOSTGIANT exhibition is a collective effort by Ownly Penang, an ongoing visual collection and exploration dedicated to Penang, an island they call their home. According to the creatives from Ownly Penang, THELOSTGIANT is the self-proclaimed name for the abandoned Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak (KOMTAR), an icon of Penang, which was built as part of a master plan in modernizing the city of George Town. Besides remembering THELOSTGIANT, the exhibition is also about what Penang has to offer. From street food to street art and good hospitality to rich culture and heritage, Peanang is not just a place where retirees come to bide but to live, create and inspire.
“Much have been said and blab about this wonderful island, yet everyday we hear stories of lost hopes and shattered dreams that saddens our inner soul, and question us on the reason to stay on this island we call home. What should we do to protect what we hold dear of, to think forward and take action to not let Penang fall into the faith of becoming just another disneyfied city.” – OWNLY PENANG
