Pangrok Sulap

Founded in 2010 by Rizo Leong, Jirum Manjat and Mc Feddy, Pangrok Sulap is based in the State of Sabah, Malaysia. ‘Pangrok’ is the local pronunciation of ‘punk rock’, while ‘Sulap’ refers to a hut which is usually used as a resting place by farmers in the Dusun language. Pangrok Sulap is a collective of artists, musicians and social activists whose purpose is to empower communities through making woodblock prints on fabric. With their slogan ‘Jangan Beli, Bikin Sendiri’ (Don’t Buy, Do-it-yourself), they proactively welcome the participation and involvement of people to work together on art projects as a mean of communication.
Pangrok Sulap’s recent participations in group shows are SUNSHOWER: Contemporary Art from Southeast Asia 1980s to Now at National Arts Center, Tokyo, Japan (2017), Blaze Carved in Darkness: Woodcut Movement in Asia 1930s-2010s, Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Japan (2018), as well as Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2018, India (2018).
