Penang Peranakan – A Culture to be Remembered

A photography event organised by the Photographic Society of Penang in conjunction with the George Town Festival to celebrate the rich culture and history of Penang. This event focuses on the Baba Nyonya and Jawi Peranakan of Penang. Showcasing their culture and lifestyle, photographers were given the chance to photograph these history moments in authentic settings.

Enough of the event, let’s get on to the collection shall we?
