A pangolin, 6,000 birds, and a very good ant recipe
Nature is always amazing. Just recently one of our staff whilst on a night walk spotted one of our resident pangolins on Cempedak.
We had not seen them for a few years so we were a little concerned as to what may have happened to them.

Tangmo and Mahon's Reflections on their Ubah Rumah Residency
Tangmo and Mahom's artist residency on Nikoi, Cempedak and Bintan, where natural materials were transformed into watercolours, oil paints and chalks. Through shoreline walks, pigment experiments and shared workshops, the artists explored how each island’s geology shaped colour, process and meaning. The post reflects on making art from the land itself, and how slow exploration, collaboration and conversation became central to the creative work.
