Discover the captivating Serani identity through a unique photographic journey in Penang.

Unveiling the Serani community in Penang

PSC is very proud of Antoine Loncle who completed a Bachelor of Photography in 2018 and more recently completed the Master of Arts Photography program with an exhibition at Hin Bus Depot in Penang, Malaysia.

The Serani community in Penang is a fascinating group that has a rich history and unique culture. They are a blend of Portuguese and Asian heritage, creating a distinctive identity that is unlike any other. Despite their small numbers, the Serani community has made significant contributions to the cultural fabric of Penang.

The exhibition aims to shed light on the Serani community and showcase their traditions, customs, and way of life. Through photographs, visitors will get a glimpse into the daily lives of the Serani people, their celebrations, and their struggles. It is a chance to learn about a community that has often been overlooked, but has a story worth telling.
