About this audio guide
This guide follows six sculptors who arrived in Kuala Lumpur in 1987 for the Fifth ASEAN Sculpture Symposium, each representing one of the six ASEAN nations and each asked to leave a permanent work in stone, wood, iron or marble beside the National Monument. It traces why the setting mattered that particular year, and introduces Singaporean sculptor Han Sai Por and the piece she left behind. Listen for how the other five works answer hers from around the garden.
