Bridging the gap between text and technology, Sing Lit Station presents an online masterclass series, Zoom A Writer. The Zoom A Writer series gets you up close and personal with poetry, fiction and literary practice in Singapore. Learn about various facets of creative writing from Singapore’s leading writers while baring your soul in the privacy of your own home.
Explore and partake in the process of creative writing using art works from the National Gallery Singapore collection as prompts. Study the works of art and learn about an international art movement known as Social Realism and its context in Singapore. Using elements in the works of art, participants will understand the rhetorical device of ekphrasis and use that to write a piece of fictional work.
Eva Nava Wong is a writer and art historian. She is the founder of CarpeArte Journal, an online space, where flash fiction meets art.
