Urbanscapes is one of the longest-running creative arts festivals in Malaysia. Since its inception 15 years ago, the aim of Urbanscapes has always been to bring together Malaysian creative communities from the fields of music, the arts, design, film and other creative disciplines. The festival has grown leaps and bounds, to become internationally known and attended. This year, Urbanscapes 2017 will go back to where it all started, in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The festival will spread across three weekends (two and half weeks) in various parts of the city, to take advantage of KL’s glorious cityscape, and complement it with some creative shenanigans. We still believe that great things happen when people come together, so join us and be part of this journey.
