PRESS RELEASE
The Postnormal Times Madani Exhibition
Date: 26 May 2024
Venue: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – The Centre for Postnormal Policy & Futures Studies (CPPFS) is grateful to Berjaya Times Square for sponsoring and hosting the Postnormal Times MADANI Exhibition. The exhibition was opened by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Sunday, 26 May 2024 on Level Ten, Berjaya Times Square (1 Jalan Imbi, 55100, Kuala Lumpur). It will continue until 10 November 2024. This exhibition is free admission to all.

The Postnormal Times MADANI Exhibition is a collaborative effort between Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the CPPFS. The audience will set off on an experiential and pedagogical journey exploring the ways our contemporary world is changing and what might lie ahead for us all. The aim of the exhibition is to spread awareness of the postnormal times we find ourselves in and demonstrate how Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim combined his political experience and desire for reform with the insights of futures studies and postnormal times theory to develop the MADANI approach – a principled and ethical framework that will help us navigate the tempestuous waters ahead towards brighter futures for all of Malaysia.

Real world examples and creative presentations of potential future scenarios illustrate that as the world changes, our notion of change itself is also changing. To give new insight into the future of Malaysia, this exhibition features the works of six local Malaysian artists who have taken on and interpreted one of the six ethical drivers of MADANI Malaysia: Sustainability, Care and Compassion, Respect, Innovation, Prosperity, and Trust (forming the English acronym SCRIPT).

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said, ‘to tackle the struggles of our times will take new ways of thinking.’ We hope the audience can gain a new understanding and appreciation of the world we live in, what futures might be possible for Malaysia, and how all Malaysians can strive to be a part of the change desired for far too long.
