Tribute
In 2010, a year after her death, visual artist Kevin Bathman remembers the life and legacy of Yasmin Ahmad with a new digital art exhibition and film screening called 'In Her Own Words: A Celebration of Humanity and Universal Love'. Using Yasmin’s own blog as inspiration, Kevin had blended her own words with striking visual images to create an art series as progressive as Yasmin’s own thoughts.
Kevin Bathman, a Malaysian citizen who resides in Sydney, was so inspired with Yasmin’s outlook on life and her inspirational body of work, that he devoted his expertise to paying tribute to one of Malaysia’s visionary figures.
Being a big fan of her work and a keen follower of her blog, Kevin felt there were ‘gems’ that he wanted to share with others. The exhibition is an interpretation and a celebration of her words – words which serve as a reminder to us to continually strive to celebrate humanity and universal love.
It was launched in Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (5–18 July 2010), The Arts House, Singapore (27–31 August 2010) dan ACMI (Australian Centre for Moving Image), Melbourne (2–6 October 2010).

Famous quotes containing the word tribute:
“O heart, we are old;
The living beauty is for younger men:
We cannot pay its tribute of wild tears.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
