Beyond Text: Drawing from Nature as Muse

  • Singapore Singapore (map)

In this session of Beyond Text, stop to appreciate nature in all its expanse; the quiet inspiration you can draw from furtive movement of wildlife amongst the trees, or the emotion from poetry and literature about nature.

Join Nazry Bahrawi (Assistant Professor, University of Washington), Jon Gresham (Writer and Photographer), and Syafiqah Jaaffar (Assistant Curator, National Museum of Singapore), as they discuss the inspirations for Jon Gresham’s forthcoming Gus: The Life & Opinions of the Last Raffles’ Banded Langur (Shortlisted for the 2023 Epigram Books Fiction Prize)and, Syafiqah Jaaffar’s curation of A Voyage of Love and Longing at the National Museum of Singapore featuring the William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings.
