[EXHIBITION] Colours of Exile by Clément Baloup

May 12 - Jun 13
9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Alliance Francaise de Kuala Lumpur, 15, Lorong Gurney, 54100 KL
PRICE Free admission

Explore the emotional landscape of exile through the drawings of French-Vietnamese artist Clément Baloup, taken from his acclaimed graphic novel series Mémoires de Viet Kieu. This exhibition brings together powerful testimonies of the Vietnamese diaspora—stories of loss, identity, memory, and resilience—told through vibrant visuals, personal voices, and the quiet poetry of food, colour, and everyday life. Divided into three immersive sections—Words, Food, and Shapes & Colours—the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how people uprooted by war and history reconnect with their homeland through language, cuisine, and emotion. At once intimate and universal, Colours of Exile gives form to memories often left unspoken.

Je viens à l'Alliance Française de Kuala Lumpur pour pratiquer mon français, connaître les autres francophones qui habitent à Kuala Lumpur et profiter des expositions culturelles. Les pains au chocolat dans le café sont très bons aussi… Dans la classe C1, on parle de beaucoup de thèmes différents comme la musique francophone, le cinéma, la politique et la littérature. Je recommande l'alliance et ma prof, Karine, à tous qui veulent améliorer leur français dans un lieu charmant et accueillant.

Mon expérience à l’Alliance Française de Kuala Lumpur est incroyable. Je dois dire que le programme des cours a vraiment été organisé de manière à améliorer le niveau de français des élèves. De plus, il y a beaucoup d'événements culturels qui offrent l’opportunité de mieux connaître la culture. Je voudrais remercier les professeurs de l'AFKL pour leur professionnalisme, en particulier mes professeurs Rima, Christophe et Morgan, que je remercie énormément pour leurs efforts et leur aide. Grâce à leurs cours, j’ai beaucoup progressé en français. Enfin, un grand merci à tous les membres de l’administration de l'AFKL pour leur travail. Sans vous, l'AFKL ne serait pas ce qu'elle est ! Merci beaucoup, AFKL !

The teachers are incredible—they make learning French fun and interactive. I've gained so much confidence in speaking and understanding French. The lessons are not just about grammar and vocabulary; they're about exploring the richness of French culture and traditions.

Learning French in AFKL is awesome and effortless as the teachers truly grasp children's natural tendencies. My son’s French classes are consistently engaging, thanks to teachers' embrace of fun, hands-on activities.

During the pandemic, I decided to learn French, a long-time goal of mine. I chose AFKL's online intensive classes for their flexibility with my work schedule. AFKL also offered cultural events like movie screenings and art exhibitions to the highly-anticipated Le French Festival, which enhanced my learning experience. Thanks to AFKL's supportive teachers and support system, I was able to stay motivated despite challenging grammar rules. The classes had a good size, allowing everyone to participate, and covered various topics with interactive resources.

8 years of learning French in AFKL is a privilege indeed. The teachers taught me not only the relevant language skills but I learned a lot about French culture through the classes and AFKL events. It motivates me to keep learning French and I enjoy the library services such as the wide variety of books and film selection.

My plan of studying French to communicate with my aunt and my colleagues started off as a short-term project but soon it became a full-on passion to try my best to be fluent in the language. AFKL is indeed a great place to kick-start learning French, as the teachers here are friendly and more importantly capable of guiding you as you manoeuvre through tricky French grammar. La bibliotheque d’AFKL is also a great nook for discovering interesting reads from Tintin to Le Monde.
