Sneak a glimpse and swallow some secrets this November with NTU Unmasked and DIS/CONTENT, the slippery art collective bending dreams and genres. They have some skeletons rattling in our closet that they’d love to show you, so join them for the livestream on Creative Writing at NTU’s Facebook page on the 29th of November.
Artist line-up:
Cat Chong is a transcultural twister child negotiating an embodied rejection of fixity and belonging. They’re a graduate of the Poetic Practice MA at Royal Holloway and are currently authoring a PhD on global female-authored illness narratives at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore where they’re a recipient of the NPGS scholarship. Cat is a proud queer crip whose durational work flails wildly between conceptual and confessional tendencies. Their interests include ecology, feminism, gender, health, contemporary poetics, medical humanities, and disability studies. They are also a co-founder of the Crested Tit Collective, UK.
Francis Bond is an Associate Professor at the Division of Linguistics and Multilingual Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. His main research interest is in natural language understanding. He is an active member of the Deep Linguistic Processing with HPSG Initiative (DELPH-IN) and the Global WordNet Association. Francis has developed and released wordnets for Chinese, Japanese, Malay and Indonesian and coordinates the Open Multilingual Wordnet. He is the co-coordinator of NTU's Digital
Reilly Phanes is a teacher, non-binary queer witch, Vajrayana practitioner, Radical Faerie and esoteric buff. He is deeply interested in rituals, mythologies, mystical traditions and queer identities / consciousness, and his research and practice investigates and explores the intersection of these topics. He has a background in theatre and education.
Joanna Chak is an artist interested in travel, communing with human beings, nature, and explorations of space. With artistic roots in NYC, she is and is now living and exploring the arts in Singapore. A selection of her works can be found at https://justchak.tumblr.com/
Drew Davis is a desert rat who fled from the sweltering suburbs to Los Angeles. He began a performative art practice (as anyone within 50 miles of Hollywood does) after studying at Otis College of Art and Design. Inspired by the likes of Lygia Clark and Rebecca Horn, he focuses on inter-object relations and the transformative power of leisure in art. In other words, Davis plays with big toys and works hard at making it look like he isn't working at all.
