'Special place' portraits capture essence of aunties and their stories

The Albany photography exhibition titled "Special place" is shedding light on the often-overlooked histories of Menang elders, specifically focusing on the stories and portraits of the community's aunties. These powerful images and narratives highlight their significant yet underappreciated roles in preserving and sharing cultural heritage. By spotlighting these elders, the exhibition not only honors their contributions but also serves as a reminder of the importance of acknowledging and valuing the voices and experiences of all community members. This initiative underscores the broader need for inclusivity in historical narratives and cultural recognition.
