Autism, no barrier to communication

Ahmad A Khairuddin’s ‘ Cityscape’
A group of artists — all autistic — got together and held an exhibition recently to celebrate United Voice’s own building.
A self-advocacy society for people with learning disabilities in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, United Voice (UV) has been around since 1995.
After successfully raising more than RM1 million through various fund-raising events and donations, UV finally managed to purchase their own space this year.
The ground floor is their showroom and training centre where baking classes and craft making workshops are held while the first floor houses an art gallery.
It was in this gallery that the works of Nurul A. Rahman, Tan Seng Kit, Nadiah A. Jalil, Damiem Wong and Ahmad A. Khairuddin were shown.
The citizens of Malaysia have the right to live in freedom, dignity and fraternity.
Remembering all the deaths and sorrows of our fellow human beings all over the world, due to the military and civilian conflicts. Hoping we may find a more peaceful way to settle our warfare.
"The world has enough for everyone's need but not everyone's greed." Mahatma Gandhi
This exhibition at KLPac from 17August to 13 September 2009 tel: KLPac 03 4047 9010
Our last exhibition was in November, 2008, at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center.
