GEORGE TOWN, MALAYSIA – Exhibiting a series of 28 photographic portraits displaying a diverse selection of Malaysians posing with the Malaysian flag, photographer Mooreyameen Mohamad’s exhibition Stripes and Strokes came under fire this week as the portraits of LGBTQ activists Nisha Ayub and Pang Khee Teik were taken down on “instruction”.
