LAUNCH: "The Campbell Gardens Ladies' Swimming Class", Vrushali Junnarkar

  • Singapore Art Museum 39 Keppel Road Singapore, 089065 Singapore (map)

A peek into the lives of Indian women learning to swim.

An eclectic group of Indian women living in a condominium in Singapore are determined to learn how to swim. To accomplish this, they must challenge cultural taboos, paddle against the tide of ingrained beliefs, tread carefully past family members, and dive deep into their pooled psyche to let go of things held dear.

The Campbell Gardens Ladies’ Swimming Class goes beneath the surface to fathom what hinders these women from owning the water. It plunges into unexpected situations and encounters unusual role models who help uplift these women and make them believe that nothing is impossible.

Join author and winner of the 2023 Epigram Books Fiction Prize, Vrushali Junnarkar as she discusses the themes of her latest release with fellow authors Pallavi Gopinath Aney, Meihan Boey and Swapnil Mishra, in an event moderated by Jason Erik Lundberg.

The book will be available for sale at the event.
