Guest: Kevin Bartman, Creative producer, Project Future Malaysia, Sharmilla Ganesan, Author and Editor, Brickfields: A Place We Call Home book , Kana Moothathamby, resident, Brickfields

Every neighbourhood holds memories that live in family albums and shoeboxes, and tonight we're wandering through the streets of Brickfields, one of Kuala Lumpur's oldest and most vibrant corners. We're joined by three people who know the place in different ways: one who grew up with its stories, one who shaped them into a book, and one who lived them as a child. Kevin Bathman, creative producer at Project Future Malaysia, gathered photographs and stories from past and present residents for Brickfields: A Place We Call Home, while Sharmilla Ganesan is the author and editor of the book. Kana Moothathamby grew up in Brickfields and shared her family's photographs with the project. Together, they walk us through how the project came together, share stories of home, faith and neighbours, and reflect on how Brickfields has changed over the decades.
