Projects: space, place and site – a talk by Antoni Muntadas

Post-PopUp at CCA

Free

FB: http://www.facebook.com/events/1653251068234017/

 

By considering art and architecture as public devices, this talk explores new ways of understanding the concept of the ‘spatial cultural identity’ as relevant subject to contemporary critical discourses and practices on urban space. This concept will be used to address and negotiate the complexities of ideas, situations, objects and materials that are inherent to any public space. Questions and concerns of culture and identity within the cartography of a space will be central to our discussion.

FB: http://www.facebook.com/events/541148632679683/

 

This talk will draw on the work of Hyderabad Urban Lab, a group of urban researchers, who made the Do Din project possible. The Lab has been attempting to put their academic research skills at the service of urban communities and is an attempt to rebuild a sense of embeddedness and belonging at the same time as reformulating questions of equity for the city's multifarious communities. The talk will be illustrated with examples of the kind of research that takes collective resources of the city as its starting point.

 

 

5. Sat (16 Aug), 7-10pm

Best cycling route - cycle all forever.

Here is an extract from this site talking about best cycling route. For those of you following the Bukit Brown Development and our work with SOS Bukit Brown. 

  "Best for history and nature: Bukit Brown and the Green Corridor
We couldn't decide between these two. The cemetery of Bukit Brown, for its utterly unique and rich heritage record of Singapore's early settlers; or the Green Corridor, once a historic railway, now repurposed as a strip of hidden park running north-south from Woodlands to Tanjong Pagar. But one thing's for sure: both are peaceful, quietly atmospheric, and rich in natural beauty. Get there before that magic is gone. "

THE EDIBLE REVOLUTION #15: food for thought & other news! (Feb 2 - Feb 8)

Food For All is an initiative started by Heather Chi and Friends. 
here is their newsletter.

*THE EDIBLE REVOLUTION **food for thought & other stories in a nutshell! # 15*
*
*
/*HOT AND FRESH FROM THE UK!*/
//

   *FOOD FIGHTS**
   *

   * *WHAT DRIVES THE ROHINGYA TO SEA?*
     (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7872635.stm):
     "Economic hardship and chronic poverty prevents many thousands of
     people in north Rakhine state from gaining food security," says
     Chris Kaye, the country director for the UN's World Food Programme
     who visited there two months ago.

   * *THE PENDING SCRAMBLE FOR WATER
     *(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7790711.stm): The experience
     of Saudi Arabia, China and South Korea today could be a foretaste
     of what will follow elsewhere. It stems from the failure of
     national governments and the international trade system to address
     the looming water crisis. Without changes, we face a scramble for
     water over the next two decades. When water availability drops
     below 1500 cubic meters per person per year, a country needs to
     start importing food, particularly water intense crops.



   *CHEW ON IT!*

   * *WILL OBAMA CHANGE THE WAY AMERICA EATS?
     *(http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/01/will-obama-change-the-way-america-eats.php?dcitc=weekly_nl):
     MD Julie Upton has identified 4 Ways Barack Obama Can Change the
     Way Our Country Eats. Upton's four points include anticipated
     support for local, organic farms, food-assistance programs being
     re-visioned to focus on healthier food, less bureaucratic food
     safety policy, and a focus on school nutrition. While these
     possible policy directions have not had time to be implemented,
     much less produce results, it's perhaps the Obama's personal
     example that will inspire America to choose their food wisely.

   * *AGRICULTURAL EMPLOYMENTS ASPECTS IN BRITAIN*
     (http://www.forumforthefuture.org/blog/agricultural-employment):
     Organic farming is attracting younger people into farming compared
     to the farm industry as a whole. On average, organic farmers in
     the UK are seven years younger than non-organic farmers (whose
     average age is 56). And if all farming in the UK became organic,
     over 93,000 new jobs directly employed on farms would be created.

   * *THE MIRI METHOD TO CONSERVE WATER*
     (http://planetgreen.discovery.com/food-health/miri-method-water-conservation.html?campaign=th_weekly_nl): An
     acronym for multiple-inlet rice irrigation, MIRI irrigation is a
     new way to harvest rice using close to 26 percent less water
     during the irrigation process. The concept is simple: apply a
     smaller amount of water to each paddy on the rice farm opposed to
     applying all of the water (pumped usually from dwindling aquifers)
     to the first paddy and allowing for it to overflow to the other
     paddies.

   * *ANOREXIA: THROUGH THE EYES OF A SURVIVOR*
     (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/4413354/Anorexia-My-wedding-dress-looked-beautiful--and-then-it-slipped-right-off.html):
     Following the death of a promising 18-year-old student from
     anorexia, Emily Halban gives a personal account of how the disease
     can strike girls like her who "had it all".



   *ROJAK!*

   * *HOW TO EAT MORE SLOWLY
     *(http://www.physorg.com/news152543084.html): Stop eating before
     you feel full. It takes 15 to 20 minutes for your digestive system
     to tell your brain that you've had enough. If you keep eating
     until that feeling registers, you pack in lots of extra calories.
     Instead, put down your fork when you start to feel satisfied. More
     tips here!

   * *SUSTAINABLE SUSHI* (http://www.sustainablesushi.net/): Enough said.

   * *MAKE YOUR OWN SOYMILK*
     (http://planetgreen.discovery.com/food-health/homemade-soymilk.html?campaign=th_weekly_nl)
