New Naratif is a community-driven organisation that believes in “democratising democracy” for Southeast Asia by educating, engaging, and empowering people with the knowledge and skills to take collective action. With a focus in “storytelling,” we have adapted our organisation’s outputs from audiovisual media, research publications, and capacity-building workshops to foster a platform that amplifies and nurtures Southeast Asian voices. We aim to embrace the many modes of stories through various artistic and literary practices as an instrument for community-building amongst Southeast Asians.
