Kuala Lumpur Urban Sketchers
Sketch Series
In January 2025, the Kuala Lumpur Urban Sketchers group spent a few hours capturing traditional and forgotten trades in Petaling Street. Their vibrant sketches depict the essence of these historical professions, serving as a visual tribute to the rich cultural heritage of the area. Complemented by fictional narratives and write-ups on five trades, their work provides a captivating glimpse into the past, ensuring that these traditions remain alive and cherished in the hearts of modern observers.
