Voices Through Colours: Young Neurodivergent Artists Shine at Manja KL

KL’s creative scene just got brighter with “Voices Through Colours”, an art exhibition that celebrated the raw, unfiltered imagination of young neurodivergent artists. Hosted at Manja KL, the space transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour and emotion, proving that art really is a universal language.

Organised by HUGEart, the showcase featured 48 works by 24 artists aged between 7 and 21, each living with unique neurodivergent profiles like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. From bold brushstrokes to delicate details, every piece was a window into perspectives often overlooked but deeply needed.

And it wasn’t just an exhibition, it was a statement. Founder Malar Sinnadurai, who also runs The Children’s Art Studio, has long believed in the power of creative education. This event made that mission real, with parents, families, and art lovers filling the first floor of Manja, turning it into a vibrant community gallery.

The opening night buzzed with energy. Within hours, a quarter of the artworks were sold, showing just how much audiences valued these fresh voices. Guests also enjoyed a live performance by singer-songwriter Chelsia Ng, alongside appearances from multidisciplinary artist Tiffany Choong and London-based Consultant Neurodevelopmental Paediatrician Dr. Hemavathy Palanyiaya.

But the highlight? When Ismail Ani Arope from CIMB Group dropped by and extended an invite for HUGEart to take part in CIMB Artober this September, a massive leap onto a national stage. For the young talents, it means their art (and their stories) will soon reach an even bigger audience.

The night wrapped with food, laughter, and plenty of proud smiles. More than an art show, Voices Through Colours felt like a cultural moment, one that challenged stereotypes, celebrated differences, and reminded us that creativity knows no boundaries.
