1. Tonight (11 Aug), 6.30-8pm
Projects: space, place and site – a talk by Antoni Muntadas
Post-PopUp at CCA
Free
 
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.
 
 
2. Till Sun (17 Aug), see opening hours

Post-PopUp at CCA
Pay what you want
 
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
Living with Myths: Silent Spaces of History
Post-PopUp at CCA
Free (Registration required)
 
Thum Ping Tjin deconstructs three myths: Singapore’s vulnerability, the government’s role in economic development and the meritocratic system. Ho Chi Tim uncovers traces of social welfare policy in our history. Wong Chee Meng argues that our seemingly ancient cultural heritage is actually shaped by colonial and postcolonial engineering.

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. "
