Ever wondered how art, architecture and the environment can coexist? Â

Unlike Mr Wang, Asian Film Archives have not asked me to publicize their events but since I possess an indefatigable public spirit/kindness that knows no bounds because of Sharity Elephant and his indomitable newsletters that flooded my retarded mind when I was a child, I highlight to you two events which you local film connoisseurs […]

Hello, and pardon the prolonged hiatus from the free voice of Singapore’s Artful Youth Blog (Esplanade Youth, lah!).
I had been missing out A LOT from the art scene. In fact, I miss the outdoor performances by the bay. Walking by the bay alone will be pretty awkward, anyone up for company with me?

Soon to be changed exhibit at esplanade. boy will i miss seeing those flowy fabrics, tie-dye creativity from Jerri Then at the concourse in esplanade. Entitled fantasy, this installation piece was made from recycled fabrics dyed in different shapes of red and pink.

It is a pleasent thing to know that the Esplanade has given us Youth a voice to speak. On my part, I’m pretty surprised to see that the Durian has a blog - lovingly started by its Youth wing. Thanks guys!
Being a cheapskate youth on budget, my usual hangout at the Esplanade would have […]
