Like cities, time is not static. It can stay still, advance, and disintegrate alongside its inhabitants. There are pockets that move slower, others that make speedy headways; some are stuck, as if caught in traffic or a crumbling façade left to weather time’s progression. On the main thoroughfare of Bukit Mertajam[1], past the outmoded barbershops, watch sellers and sundry stores, was an inconspicuous clothing store. There hung a T-shirt with a perplexing jumble of alphabets, like a prompt asking, “What is the flipside of time?”
Stories are portals across temporalities. In an era where feeling chronologically unrooted becomes commonplace, the experience of time, as well as the memories and desires they carry can be deeply idiosyncratic and manifold. The poet Dionne Brand wrote, “All artists are involved in their time.” Assembled under the umbrella of ⏊IWE are narratives that probe into time as material and agents of change, and consequently undermine ideologies and values prevalent within our society. These works not only chronicle personal mementos, offer alternative histories and ways of living, but also function as brief dislocations from the present. In doing so, they open other ways of how one can relate to our own time. 
[1] Bukit Mertajam is a city on the mainland, and part of the state of Penang.

Komtar

M84***97

梹城光大（Komtar）是马来西亚槟城乔治市的一座著名地标建筑。它的名称来源于&ldquo;**槟城**&rdquo;（**Penang**）和&ldquo;**光大**&rdquo;（**Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak**），是槟城州的主要商业和行政中心之一。这座建筑的设计融合了商业、零售、办公和政府用途。它最初建于1974年，完工于1986年，高度约为249米，拥有65层楼，在当时是东南亚最高的建筑之一。近年来，Komtar进行了多次翻新和改造，包括增设了一个玻璃走廊（The Rainbow Skywalk），游客可以在高空俯瞰乔治市的美景。这座建筑不仅是槟城的重要地标，也是当地人和游客经常光顾的地方。

A must-visit in Penang, it has a very unique feel and is very photogenic. There are many shops run by Chinese people, and you can communicate in Chinese and simple English. It is very comfortable to find a coffee shop for a smoothie on a hot day. There is a good Hainanese chicken rice nearby, which is not expensive and tastes amazing.
