On 16th November 2018 (Friday), the marketing and production team members have paid a visit to 2 on-going event which are the Immersio 2.0 Filamen event and #reimagineus visual art exhibition. Both events was organized by Urbanscapes, an internationally known creative arts festival in Malaysia (Urbanscapes.com.my, 2018). Their festivals often incorporate the creative industries in Malaysia ranging from music, design, art to film and so on (Urbanscapes.com.my, 2018). Therefore, visiting the exhibition is a great opportunity for the students to observe how the event was held, the decoration and props used, the content, the attraction or uniqueness of the event and so on.
LOCATION
2 HANG KASTURI
The event was held in a historical building called 2 Hang Kasturi which is only a 2 minutes walk away from the Central Market of Kuala Lumpur. The building has a total of 3 floors with a basement available for rent. After visiting the exhibition, the students realized that the space in 2 Hang Kasturi might be a perfect fit for their up-coming event as the size of the basement which is 4,390 sq ft is just right for their event. Besides, the underground floor comes with rooms and sections which might benefit the students as they won't be needing to outsource partitions or blocks for the event. Other than that, the 1st floor of 2 Hang Kasturi is a space of 4,515 sq ft with large windows allowing the space to be filled with natural lighting. The downside of this location is there is no parking space available for visitors. Therefore, visitors are advised to go by Grab service or park at the Central Market parking space. Contact details were request by the person in charge of the rental space before leaving the building and was passed onto the production team to contact for more details. As seen below are the rental rates of 2 Hang Kasturi obtained by the production team.

This post concludes a personal field trip to the Urbanscapes exhibition in town so students are able to be inspired or acquire new ideas for their upcoming fashion exhibition.
