About
Persatuan Kebudayaan dan Kesenian Orang Asli Perak (PKKOAP) was established in 2018 to combat this underrepresentation from an artistic heritage and cultural perspective, focusing mainly on the Orang Asli communities in Perak. The drastic occurrences of deforestation in Perak have left many of its indigenous communities without a stable source of income. This has caused most of them to rely on producing artistic and cultural crafts to sustain their livelihoods. Understanding that the cultural and artistic heritage of the Orang Asli in Perak is key in sustaining their community, PKKOAP aims to boost their efforts by empowering their artful heritage to the general public while preserving the environment, allowing them more exposure to gain a more substantial income.
PKKOAP has goals to restore and preserve the natural resources available to the Orang Asli in Perak while also promoting alternative incomes to sustain their daily lives. We want to ensure that the indigenous communities in Perak are uplifted to stay resilient in the face of environmental issues because we recognise that the environment itself is a cultural heritage to them.
