Kolokium Seni Silat Melayu Kebangsaan 2026
29–30 August 2026
Balai Budaya Tun Syed Nasir, Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka
As the key organiser of the academic component, PEMEDANG helped shape a setting for sustained discussion of silat as a field of knowledge, cultural expression and living practice.
The organisation’s involvement placed emphasis on the intellectual capabilities that accompany martial experience: explaining principles, developing arguments, interpreting inherited knowledge and engaging thoughtfully with different perspectives. This album records presentations, panel discussions and exchanges during the colloquium.
