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.
