She shared with us how she managed to ‘survive’ with her daughter and gathered over 1,300 people in the ‘Lockdown Lab’ program to initiate different projects in response to the pandemic, including making face shields, journalist protection kits, public health videos and there’s much more they’ve done…..

    06 | SINGAPORE🇸🇬 | How We Share Space When We Start to Work From Home ft. BRACK Alecia Neo, Kei Franklin & Jevon Chandra

    It all started when the fridge broke down, and it was time for Alecia, Kei and Jevon to rethink how we shared spaces with others under the same roof, since now we have more time to talk and take a closer look to the people we live with. And perhaps, it was also a good time to relax our mind and body, and reflect upon our inner self. Especially there are many ‘pandemics’ at the same time: COVID-19, mental health problem, climate change, and information explosion…… BRACK BRACK is a platform for socially engaged artists and their work, gathering projects, people, and ideas that feed life. Based in Singapore, BRACK does something new here in the discourse of arts, culture, and society. They’re interested in how art can address an issue of importance and create a significant space for individual and collective agency.

    05 | INDONESIA🇮🇩 | How It is Like to Have An Online Dinner Party Together ft. Bakudapan Monika Swastyastu & Shilfina Putri Widatama

    Since we are having more time at home, people are trying different recipes. Cooking has become a great pastime for new experiments. So did Monika and Shilfina. But they dug deeper with the food we ate. They shared not only their creative recipes with readers around Indonesia and the globe but also the stories behind and their survival strategies during lockdown. And they know how it is like to have meals together online and have a birthday party. BAKUDAPAN BAKUDAPAN is a study group that discusses ideas about food. Based in Indonesia, it believes that food is not merely about filling the stomach. Moreover, food is not restricted about cooking, history, conservation and the ambition to introduce it to the world. It can be an instrument to speak about broader issues, such as politics, social, gender, economy, philosophy, art, and culture.
