Technology has taken over communication. Zoom parties are becoming the rave. Humans are locked down in their own homes. But are we more connected than ever? Or is human connection somehow...lost?
Curated by Shaiful Risan of Prohibited Projects and Zerox Zine, Post Punk is an interactive chronicling of letters written and replied to him during the turn of the century. The artist invites us to “come around” to the value of humanity and personal touch through interaction with analogue ways of communication, materials from the past, and intimate readings of physical letters from all over the world. Can these methods of communication from the past reshape our relationships with one another in the future?

Shaiful Risan
Shaiful Risan is involved in many things; from subculture events to theatre to crew work; from being an actor, a director and a host/emcee to a co-ordinator of many more things. He is also known to be an intermediary between various disciplines and a proxy advisory assistant to a few projects within the umbrella of arts and entertainment. He is a proud void deck Mat that doesn't shy away from intellectual confrontations and rigid arguments about how things are.
