Kampung Spirit, Mutual Aid, Whatever You Call It
Kampung spirit, mutual aid, whatever you call it — the concept of communally organised cooperation in times of need is no stranger to Singaporeans. Channel NewsTheatre speaks to a panel of festival artists and community organisers about what it means to actively look out for one another in our everyday lives, and whether it is a sustainable response to the systemic inequalities that created such need in the first place.
Moderated by Ke Weiliang, and featuring Adeeb Fazah (The Essential Playlist by The Second Breakfast Company), Zee Wong (0.01 by Goh Shou Yi, Rei Poh and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts), and Hannah Lim (Migrant Mutual Aid).

Festival Going, Festival Making in a Pandemic
Arts festivals typically depend on attracting masses of people to attend weeks of action-packed programmes. So how do you meaningfully, yet safely present and attend one in the middle of a global pandemic?
In this radio chat, we shine the spotlight on the Singapore International Festival of Arts (https://www.facebook.com/sifa.sg/?__cft__[0]=AZXNZqO7l6Sp3wzhTKxOvGIUPdjwT27_mQJM-kaE2jRfYo91608YpKvJNXhpSVvVBOYYSIlgUdDLzUouDHbym8l_pvqYxGt9xhQpZDWIA3bbcPQTaUpaFex6rM4r-kmJvlLd48TdEOaxHppVeJO2e2074_ybKWggqmUd-nVWLZXwFg&__tn__=kK-y-R) (SIFA), which experienced (and is still experiencing) the unenviable challenge of having to contend with the limitations imposed by Phase Two (Heightened Alert) in Singapore. Join Gaurav Kripalani (Festival Director, 2018 - 2021) and Ke Weiliang (Channel NewsTheatre) as they reflect on their experiences with SIFA 2021 from the points of view of a festival maker and festival goer respectively.
