The Beauty of Backlane

Following in the footsteps of art districts around the world, such as Beijing’s ‘798 Art Zone’, Shah Alam’s very own Laman Seni 2 & Laman Seni 7 is an initiative undertaken by the city council (MBSA) and KHZNH Studio to transform the back alleys of commercial and industrial areas into safe, clean and visually-pleasing spaces with murals and street art. The featured installations were chosen after several competitions were held to determine the best art under 4 categories: 3D Painting, 3D Installation, Street Furniture and On-site Painting. The murals and street art are mainly based on themes and concepts involving ‘Shah Alam Community’, ‘Tourist Attractions’ and ‘Green Concept’.
