Everything In Its Right Place: The Body Politic and the Body | ArtsEquator Thinking and Talking about Arts and Culture in Southeast Asia Articles Nabilah Said December 22, 2019 By Nabilah Said (1,400 words, 7-minute read) “You’re a guest, you’re a guest, you’re a guest.” This anodyne version of the Beauty and The Beast song played in my head as I walked through the exhibition The Body Politic and the Body , currently on at ILHAM Gallery in Kuala Lumpur.
