The latest sociologically-minded arts festival on the local calendar to put on your radar is The Future Of Our Pasts (TFOOP) — a brand-new initiative organised by liberal art college Yale-NUS that aims to spotlight lesser-known narratives in Singapore’s history. Examples include the move from “kampong” to “metropolis”, inter-racial relationships in the typically PC local environment, as well as factory women who played a crucial role in the early years of Singapore’s independence.
Kicking off this weekend till March 17 across the island, the month-long festival is largely populated by student-led projects and commissions (11 in total) that tackle the diverse narratives through various creative mediums. Here, the pieces that caught our eye.
