sploosh! session #3 promises a fun and accessible way to engage with the arts in Singapore across genres. On the 27th of May, look forward to poetry and musical performances by Jennifer Anne Champion and Marla Bendini as well as open micers, and learning about Andrew Devadason's fibrecrafting -- yes, there will be handicraft on sale!
FEATURE ARTISAN (NEW!!!)
Andrew Kirkrose Devadason is a queer Singaporean fibrecrafter with an interest in fancywork and making things miniature. He tats, crochets, and dabbles with other crafts. Intersections of his visual and poetic work can be found in Issue 11.1 of the journal OF ZOOS.
FEATURE PERFORMERS
Jennifer Anne Champion is a writer and performance poet of mixed heritage. She has been described by Juice Magazine as gifted with “swift, animated style”. Jennifer has performed her work in Edinburgh, Berlin and Israel and is a regular voice in the Singapore spoken word scene. In 2015, she released her first solo work of poetry—A History of Clocks (Red Wheelbarrow Books). Her second collection with Math Paper Press under the Ten Year Series imprint is titled Caterwaul (2016).
Marla Bendini (she/her/they/them) is a cross-disciplinary trans and non-binary artist working in painting, text, sound and performance to articulate the infinitely faceted transgender experience on their own terms. Marla makes art that center personal histories, to talk about love, relationships, queerness, trauma and more importantly, growth & recovery. She believes our storytelling is important and the transformative power of introspection in art-making and experience can precipitate constructive individual and social change. (IG @marlabendiniart)
