A text art mural spotted at the Hins Bus Depot in George Town.
Hin Bus Depot in Penang was originally a bus repair and maintenance depot built in the 1940s. It was later transformed into a vibrant creative hub after hosting Ernest Zacharevic’s first solo art exhibition in 2014. Today, it’s a thriving space for art, culture, and community events, featuring galleries, markets, and cafés while still preserving its industrial charm.
Titled “Chaigo: The Great Escape“, this vibrant mural art work is created via a collaboration of Malaysian street artists Kenji Chai and Azmi Hussin. The artwork can be found at the side entrance of Hin Bus Depit area, along Jalan Timah.
