Pangrok Sulap is a Sabah-based art collective, which formed in 2010 and currently has 15 members. “Pangrok” is a colloquial term for “punk rock” and “sulap” means “hut” in the local Dusun language. The group first came together in 2010 to conduct charity work in rural schools, orphanages and homes for the disabled. They began woodcut printing in 2012, making banners and posters to raise awareness about social and environmental issues in Borneo’s regional communities. Today they create lively and moving works that are impressive in scale and seductive in detail, depicting narratives relating to pertinent issues in Sabah — from illegal logging to official corruption.
