FOUR Malaysians will be selected to join the inaugural Cultural Economy Development Agency (Cendana) Apprenticeship Programme in collaboration with Studio Hong Yi which is owned by a local artist, Red Hong Yi.
In a statement yesterday, Cendana said the collaboration will provide a six-month apprenticeship programme for creative graduates, such as emerging artists and cultural workers, who will receive hands-on training from Red Hong Yi and her team.
“Cendana Apprenticeship Programme in collaboration with Studio Hong Yi hopes to select four Malaysians with strong drive and self-motivation that can bring a new perspective and fresh way of thinking.
“They will need excellent communication and teamwork skills, and must know how to multitask in managing a varied workload. They will be able to contribute ideas, solve problems and be part of an exciting line-up of new art projects under the stewardship of Red Hong Yi,” the statement read.
In the statement, Cendana CEO Izan Satrina Mohd Sallehuddin also expressed hope that the programme will provide experience, qualification and knowledge to the next generation of cultural workers, especially during this trying time.
“We are grateful that with the Budget 2021 allocation, we are able to incubate this apprenticeship programme with the aim of introducing similar collaborations with other cultural institutions locally and internationally,” she said.
Applications for the programme will open from May 10 to June 6, and successful candidates will join Studio Hong Yi on July 1. — Bernama
