10AM - 3PM | Sing Lit & Mental Health: 4 Acts of Life Workshop
Workshop Facilitator: Serene Goh from the Singapore Association for Mental Health (SAMH)’s Creative Mindset Hub.
This workshop will take place at Sing Lit Station.
Our favourite books are not simply words on a page; they can also be portals to different worlds, friends in lonely seasons, and sculptors of our world view. Some books on our shelf also serve as relief for our internal struggles, they bear witness to our pain and offer pathways to navigate through it. We wanted to facilitate space for this relief in a workshop hosted by a mental health professional from Singapore Association for Mental Health (SAMH)'s Creative Mindset Hub. Participants will explore the themes of Forgiveness, Thankfulness, Love and Letting Go while meditating on the "to let the light in" poetry anthology. Register here: https://sls4actsoflife.peatix.com
The workshop will be in two parts:
10AM - 12PM: Part 1 - Regret and Gratitude
1PM - 3PM: Part 2 - Love and Goodbyes
11AM - 12PM | Emerging Warmer: A Climate Manifesto for Sing Lit?
Featuring: Carolyn Oei (Moderator), Esther Vincent Xueming, Robert Zhao Renhui, and Ang Xiao Ting.
This panel will take place at Happen.SG, Jalan Besar and livestreamed on Sing Lit Station’s Facebook page.
We believe art practitioners have a responsibility to bear witness to the climate crisis and expand society’s vision for its future. Come hear our panelists discuss climate grief, target audiences and their visions for the environment and local arts scene in the next 5 years. Join moderator Carolyn Oei for an engaged discussion with Esther Vincent, Robert Zhao Renhui and Ang Xiao Ting on how the arts can respond to the realities of a warmer world.

Featuring: : Chong Lingying (Moderator), Balli Kaur Jaswal, Lee Thean-jeen, and Suffian Hakim.
This panel will take place at Happen.SG, Jalan Besar and livestreamed on Sing Lit Station’s Facebook page.
There is more than one way to tell a story – and an universe of mediums to tell it on. Sing Lit has weaved its way into multiple planes of existence, with many titles being adapted into films, television series and video games. How does this literary multiverse influence the way that stories are told and books are published? What are some of the trends and what does it spell for the future of Sing Lit? Join moderator Chong Lingying and panellists Balli Kaur Jaswal, Suffian Hakim and Lee Thean-jeen as they discuss their experience with adapting Sing Lit.
