    Kampung Spirit, Mutual Aid, Whatever You Call It

    Kampung spirit, mutual aid, whatever you call it — the concept of communally organised cooperation in times of need is no stranger to Singaporeans.

Moderated by Ke Weiliang, and featuring Adeeb Fazah (The Essential Playlist by The Second Breakfast Company), Zee Wong (0.01 by Goh Shou Yi, Rei Poh and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts), and Hannah Lim (Migrant Mutual Aid).

    Festival Going, Festival Making in a Pandemic

    Arts festivals typically depend on attracting masses of people to attend weeks of action-packed programmes. So how do you meaningfully, yet safely present and attend one in the middle of a global pandemic? In this radio chat, we shine the spotlight on the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA), which experienced (and is still experiencing) the unenviable challenge of having to contend with the limitations imposed by Phase Two (Heightened Alert) in Singapore. Join Gaurav Kripalani (Festival Director, 2018 - 2021) and Ke Weiliang (Channel NewsTheatre) as they reflect on their experiences with SIFA 2021 from the points of view of a festival maker and festival goer respectively. This radio chat took place on 4 August 2021.

The first 10 minutes of the radio chat were inadvertently omitted in our recording.
