Street Art ~ Shah Alam Seksyen 2

Street Art grows rapidly in Malaysia followed by the debug of street art in Penang by Lithuanian artist Emest Zacharevic in year 2012.

In year 2013 and 2014, the Shah Alam city government has initiated street art projects by engaging university students and local artists to beautify the back alleys. The walls of the ordinary back alleys are transformed into creative art street that portray the culture of the city.

The objectives of these projects are to express the appreciation towards the city’s residents and to change the public’s perception towards back alley.

There are 2 back alley areas in Shah Alam which have been beautified, namely:

(i) Seksyen 2

(ii) Seksyen 7

Seksyen 2 is covered in this post while Seksyen 7 will be covered in Part 2 of Street Art Shah Alam.

Part 1: Seksyen 2

Murals at Seksyen 2 are about “students”, “teacher”, “Sekolah Seksyen 2”, “chairs and tables” and “mini bus”.
