HeriArt of Borneo

An Exhibition by UMS Student Artists

What does Borneo look like through the eyes of a new generation of artists?

HeriArt of Borneo brings together paintings by students from Universiti Malaysia Sabah. The exhibition offers a vibrant vision of heritage, identity, and culture. The name “HeriArt”, a blend of "Heritage" and "Art", reflects the idea of connecting the past with creative expression.

Featuring bold colours, expressive brushstrokes and themes inspired by the land and traditions, the exhibition celebrates the visual richness of Borneo.

It invites visitors to explore personal interpretations of community, memory, and celebration in Sabah and Borneo. The artworks are expressive and colourful, and are deeply rooted in a sense of belonging and pride.
