The food stalls on Smith Street pay homage to hawkers of the past, and early malls like People’s Park Complex have gone new age with rooftop gardens. Reflecting Singapore’s multi-ethnic nature, Chinatown also interestingly houses the country’s oldest Hindu temple, and the prominent Jamae Mosque. \u003ci\u003eWe Love Chinatown \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a glimpse into this vibrant neighbourhood, as seen through the eyes of the talented artists from Urban Sketchers Singapore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUrban Sketchers Singapore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is an informal group of artists who draw the places they visit, capturing what they see from direct observation on location.

Oftentimes, external expectations about who we should be and how we should act prevent us from being free to express ourselves and do the things that truly matter to us. As a result, many of us end up chasing after societal definitions of success instead of what truly matters to us, and we end up lost, confused, and disconnected from ourselves. It is this disconnection from ourselves that forms the start of the many mental and emotional struggles we face everyday, and it potentially leads to depression, and on a more severe scale, suicide. Through our work, we aim to explore the deeper conversations that underpin the mental health struggles many of us battle in our daily lives and empower people to connect to themselves, to the present, and the world around them. Ultimately, the goal is to see a society where people are free to be bold, be free, and be themselves—unapologetically—so that they can begin to live a life that matters to them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollow us at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mingkwang\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mingkwang\"\u003ewww.linkedin.com\/in\/mingkwang\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thisconnect.today\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thisconnect.today\"\u003ewww.instagram.com\/thisconnect.today\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Alkem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39662516568177,"sku":"9789811824128","price":77.5,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/0041\/products\/MoSBookCover.jpg?v=1642659887"},{"product_id":"artists-and-the-people-ideologies-of-art-in-indonesia","title":"Artists and the People: Ideologies of Art in Indonesia","description":"\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExploring the work of established and emerging artists in Indonesia’s vibrant art world, this book examines why so many artists in the world’s largest archipelagic nation choose to work directly with people \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e in the studio.

While studying fine art over the past two years in London and Stockholm, she has primarily worked with the notion of belonging, both in a physical space or place and within the body. Much of her practice stems from recording her daily routines, exploring the idea of the divided self and spending time with the perverse peripheral eye. This has led her to constantly engage with and question her religious upbringing, her love for horror and her interest in psychosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeverly Chew \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween January and June 2019, Beverly has found herself existing in a limbo state.

Although this compulsion has not made her a better pianist, it has certainly heightened her sensitivity to sound and compelled her to pursue a continual discovery, creation, and critical appreciation of art. Believing that discourse and practice are mutually constitutive, Leia’s endeavours are firmly grounded in her interests in musicology, sociology, language, and politics. While she does not comprehend many things in life, such as casual clothing and egg yolk, she is content navigating two time zones, two cultures, and two types of kopfee in the hope of realising the ever-practical dream of being an artist-academic in Singapore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYY Liak \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYY is an illustrator and art history nerd who likes working with bold, punchy colours, graphic shapes, and contrasting elements.

Other things she loves include literature, classical music, and video game playthroughs involving disconcerting, game-breaking amounts of destruction. She’s currently doing a brief stint at a publishing house designing book covers, and constantly fantasises about the day she’ll be able to retire to an old, secluded townhouse with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNathaniel Soon \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNathaniel considers himself a visual storyteller, experimenting with an array of mediums such as film, imagery and everyday conversation to connect people with the natural world.

A prospective environmental anthropology major, he is curious about how humans perceive and interact with landscapes and resources, and how this influences behaviour regarding environmental sustainability.

Creating collages with her swelling volume of photographs to the sombre sounds of Oskar Schuster has become an outlet for her to amalgamate and reorganise her realities. When Safiah is not in her dorm making collages while contemplating the randomness of life, you will find her either serving Gnocchi at an Italian restaurant or sharing candid conversations under the guise of a gallery sitter, teasing out the snags of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Now \u0026 Again","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51275337761065,"sku":"2630-5186","price":30.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/0041\/files\/Now_AgainSoundCompressed.jpg?v=1759253729"},{"product_id":"now-again-exquisite-corpse-issue-03","title":"Now \u0026 Again: Exquisite Corpse (Issue 03)","description":"\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout the Contributors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/0041\/files\/N_A_Exquisite_Corpse_Preview_2-compressed.pdf?v=1759254894\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLook inside the magazine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition of \u003cem\u003eNow \u0026amp; Again\u003c\/em\u003e adopts the approach of the \u003cem\u003eExquisite Corpse\u003c\/em\u003e, a collaborative art exercise in which drawings are assembled in sequence to form a complete composition.

She absolutely adores contemporary writers like Ali Smith and Jeanette Winterson because of their self-reflexive narrators. Currently, she’s doing research on contemporary writing in the context of aesthetic analysis. In particular, on ekphrasis, beauty and form.

Call it contemplation or broodiness, but her undivided attention in ruminating on her sensibilities stems from the desire to chase away the clouds of incomprehension and unknowingness. Her recent projects reveal her fixation with certain failures in our contemporary condition, that is, disconnect between people and within the self.

This is often done by manipulating images as a means of mark-making her explorations in materialising the visceral. She tends to explore emotional and intimate narratives that often go dismissed or overlooked at family dinner tables.
