BA(Hons) Fine Arts alumnus Izzad Radzali Shah speaks about his journey as an artist, from initially losing interest in painting to rediscovering his passion after a trip to Jogjakarta in 2015, where he was inspired by the young artists he met. His realisation that art could be a means of expressing views on social issues, or understanding of the Malay identity in Singapore, spurred him to create a prolific body of work that led to his first solo exhibition Long-Term Goal in LASALLE's Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore.

Current part-time Fine Arts lecturer at LASALLE, and BA(Hons) Fine Arts alumni, Mohammad Khairullah Rahim, will be embarking on two art residencies shortly.
