About this audio guide
This guide to GMBB in Kuala Lumpur follows Lim Ying Hui and her team as they take over a building meant for wholesale fashion and reimagine it, inspired by Beijing's 798 Art Zone and Hong Kong's PMQ, as a home for Malaysian creatives. You'll hear how the project survived a pandemic that nearly stalled it after only two floors were filled, and how it grew into a home for shadow puppetry, an Orang Asli gallery and a decades-old theatre collective. The motto painted through the corridors is More Together.
