About Gerakbudaya Bookshop @ Hikayat
Gerakbudaya is an independent bookshop on the ground floor of Hikayat, an arts and letters space on Lebuh Pantai in the heritage zone. It focuses on Southeast Asian writing: books about Penang and Malaysia, history, current affairs and politics, and novels by regional authors that mainstream chains rarely stock.
For a reader, a Penang title from Gerakbudaya makes a lighter and more personal souvenir than another fridge magnet. It pairs well with Areca Books on Lebuh Acheh, which publishes heritage titles, and both sit within a 10-minute walk of Armenian Street.
