Celebrate Sing Lit with some of our best in the scene
Did you know that March is designated as National Reading Month in the United States? Though it's not a thing in Singapore, the folks behind Textures may be planning to make it so. The literary festival launched to much success in March 2018, and is making its return this year from 7 to 10 March at The Arts House. Co-commissioned by The Arts House and the #BuySinglit movement, and supported by the National Arts Council, Textures is all about celebrating Singapore literature. This year, the festival explores a range of emotions that words express through the theme of "Love and Loss (and some things in between)."
The programme is packed with so many exciting performances, exhibitions, panel discussions and creative workshops, some taking place at the same time - how do we choose which ones to attend? To help you decide, we've picked out seven events we're most excited for. Call up your friends for a lit-terrific weekend, and don't forget to support our authors and discover new reads at the #BuySingLit Book Bazaar, happening at the Arts House Gallery from 8 to 10 March.
2. A Night of Terrifying Tales
Are you up for a night of spooks and chills? Then let expert storyteller Kamini Ramachandran and her young team from Moonshadow Stories take you on thrilling journey of the imagination. It’s no typical sharing of ghost stories; the storytellers get the audience on their feet to explore five locations on the second floor of the Arts House after dark, immersing them in a live recreation of stories from Russell Lee’s popular book series, True Singapore Ghost Stories.
The event is held on 9 March, 9:30pm to 11pm. Get your tickets ($20) here.
