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.

Knowing that it was important to supplement the specimens they sent back to scientists in Europe with sketches, Diard and Duvaucel commissioned artists to create hundreds of drawings of animals and plants at each of the locations they visited.

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.
