Discover a world where Malay arts flourish and come alive, where creativity knows no bounds.
Dive into vibrant narratives & immerse in rich cultural tapestries.

At Kamelia Co., we are dedicated to nurturing the essence of Malay arts, bridging traditions with modern innovation.

Kamelia Co.'s Sembang - Conversing the Arts World brings together arts and culture professionals from the Malay arts community to share and discuss topics related to the arts of the Nusantara, with the aim to broaden perspectives, foster critical thinking and groom thought leadership amongst Malay arts practitioners in Singapore.

This premier season of Sembang traverses two art forms - the Literary Arts (Sastera) and Dance (Tarian) from August to September 2024. All sessions are conducted in English and digitally documented on Kamelia Co.’s Youtube channel and website.
In November 2024, Kamelia Co. produced two conferences: the Sembang Puisi Conference in collaboration with Meja Conteng, and the Sembang Tari Symposium in collaboration with Muara Festival and Wisma Geylang Serai.
