The Six Foundational Pillars

1

Empower

We equip artists, cultural workers, and communities with legal knowledge and structural support to act with agency and self-determination.

2

Foster Understanding

We build strategic bridges between the creative and legal sectors to cultivate trust, clarity, and cross-disciplinary fluency.

3

Encourage Harmony

We mediate the relationship between expression and regulation, advocating for respectful coexistence without silencing critique.

4

Promote Appreciation

We elevate the societal value of artistic and cultural expression, ensuring recognition across disciplines, mediums, and traditions.

5

Preserve

We safeguard the rights, archives, and contributions of Malaysia’s creative communities to ensure cultural continuity and future access.

6

Disrupt with Intent

We challenge outdated norms and institutional inertia through targeted intervention, intellectual dissent, and principled resistance.
