More Than Music, It’s All About Connection

Beyond the album, the exhibition also offers a closer look at MALIQ & D’Essentials’ creative journey through music, lifestyle, and collaborative projects. It’s a chance to explore the stories behind the band and celebrate everything that makes their music special.

As part of CONNECT, this collaboration reflects ASHTA’s spirit of bringing music, creativity, and communities together. By hosting both the exhibition and album launch, ASHTA becomes part of a special milestone in MALIQ & D’Essentials’ journey while creating memorable experiences.
