Singapore to Host First Major International Art Festivals since Pandemic BY :THE JAKARTA GLOBE MARCH 16, 2021
Jakarta. Singapore will stage international arts festivals involving over 60 shows and 300 performances starting mid-May, arguably the biggest festivals since the Covid-19 pandemic began early last year.
The festivals will be a mixture of video streaming, live performances and multi-platform interactive shows to attract as many audiences as possible while giving high regard for the health protocol.
The 16-day event will “showcase artists who have incorporated different technologies from lo-fi to high-tech to interact with audiences in real time; live performances in theatres, and shows where artists have collaborated across borders,” the organizers said in a statement on Tuesday.

Impact statement: Shaking up Singaporean poetry with an uncompromising attitude and a no holds barred approach
Poet Marylyn Tan is breaking down all sorts of barriers in Singapore’s literary scene. The first woman to win the Singapore Literature Prize for English poetry in its 28 year history, she is known for her iconoclastic, witty, outspoken take on subjects including gender politics, and consistently shows a willingness to take on taboo subjects, many of them sexual and religious. A former stand-up comic, she is also the founder of arts collective Dis/Content.
