Vanda Miss Joaquim. Indigenous knowledge. Ethnobotany. These are some of the ways we can get to know our environment, which illuminate the hidden and forgotten aspects of Singapore’s natural heritage. By revisiting the sources of our knowing, we can begin to understand how we relate to our environment and how our “Garden City” can encompass narratives that have been historically suppressed or ignored.
In collaboration with Singapore Heritage Festival 2022, Ethos Books is proud to present this online panel, featuring Khairulddin Wahab, Mok Zining, Nadirah Norruddin, and moderated by Faris Joraimi. Our speakers will share about the ways they decentre natural history away from the European lens and conventional national narratives, seeing our familiar natural icons and landscapes in a different light.
The event will be livestreamed on the Ethos Books' Facebook page. They will be providing live note-taking and sign language interpreters will be providing SgSL interpretation. Please message Ethos Books on Facebook if you require any access needs.
