Wen Di Sia

Wen Di is a writer and researcher with an interest in indigenous arts and culture, particularly in topics such as indigenous knowledge, cosmologies, and eco-critical thoughts. In 2018, she started GERIMIS, a collaborative artistic and archiving collective that co-produces artworks and cultural content with indigenous Malaysian (Orang Asli) artists and artisans.

The collective primarily works with Orang Asli who are already leading their own efforts in promoting and preserving their arts, culture, and traditions. Through exhibitions, publications, workshops, and talks, GERIMIS advocates for the Orang Asli’s customary territories and the return of these lands to their custodianship.
