Tiong Bahru: Walkshop is a two-part programme led by Marc Nair and part of Silver Arts 2021. It consists of a virtual walk in Tiong Bahru estate followed by an online workshop on developing skills in writing and photography. Participants can join either session, e.g. (11th and 19th, or 11th and 18th or 12th and 19th). Do note that while the event is free, there are limited spaces, especially for the workshop, so registration will be on a first-come-first-served basis only.
Marc Nair is a poet and photographer from Singapore. He has published ten volumes of poetry. A recipient of the 2016 Young Artist Award, he is currently pursuing projects that involve photography and creative non-fiction.
Silver Arts advocates the meaningful possibilities seniors have in the arts. Organised by the National Arts Council since 2012, Silver Arts is an annual festival that highlights the significance of arts engagement in enhancing the well-being of seniors and people around them. Through learning a new skill, sharing their stories and co-creating art with artists, seniors can (re)discover their talent, deepen family bonds and form new social connections within the community.
