More than a Red Dot: A Survey of SG Indian Things

Our everyday is full of objects—things that enact our actions, give shape to our work, and stand for our presence. Participants in this workshop will survey the material experience and expressions of ‘Indian-ness’ in Singapore, through a series of guided activities. Together, we will identify salient objects and discuss the ways objects give form to the varied ways of being ‘Indian’ in this nation-state.

While serving as a space for considered discussion, please note that the workshop will also inform

1. A staged lecture-performance, and
2. Vithya Subramaniam’s doctoral thesis.

All participants will have to sign a consent form stating their acknowledgement of and participation in point #2.

The workshop will be conducted over two weeks. Participants must attend the same session in both weeks. (e.g. Participant from Workshop Session A must attend both 27 August and 3 September 7pm – 9pm)
