About
At a sleepy coastal town somewhere in Johor, you might catch the 28-year old kampung kid Farid (dia/he) doing sick wheelies trying to outwheel capitalism.Farid is an avid weaver of tales of identity, belonging and hope, themes that are clear in all his work, from his game writing to his illustrations and comics.His storytelling tends to embrace diversity and is deeply human, with character-driven narratives and celebrating the mundane.In the journey of loving the beautiful intersecting experiences of the self, Farid also has explored such themes in his previous activism work pertaining to championing fellow shared marginalised communities.Currently, he is open for work. In the meanwhile, he is upskilling via other projects in his field of illustration, comics and sociolinguistics.
