Poetic Pandemic

Explore the rich expression of intermingled desires at Poetic Pandemic 《诗琴画疫》, a multi-modal exhibition where original music, calligraphy and literature come together in an intimate collaboration. Part of Cultural Extravaganza 2022, organised by the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, Poetic Pandemic《诗琴画疫》showcases cross-disciplinary and cross-generational collaboration through poetry, calligraphy and music. Traverse 15 interactive cultural touch-points that will unleash your pandemic-bottled inner voice. Visit this immersive showcase featuring poetry by Dr Ng King Kang (吴庆康博士), recited by renowned actor Andie Chen (陳邦鋆), and translated into calligraphy by Alan Tan Jwee Meng (陈维鸣). Look forward to being wrapped in an atmospheric electro-ethnic score composed by SAtheCollective (仨) through the myriad experiences.

This exhibition will also be made accessible to a wider audience online through a specially created metaverse of the physical exhibition. Presented predominantly in Mandarin, the work is also translated into English, Malay, and Tamil.

This project is presented and produced by SAtheCollective Ltd and Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, and supported by the National Arts Council and the Ministry of Culture, Community & Youth.
