After its short hiatus in December, Heterotopia Library returns with an insider tour that foregrounds the books, and the people who created and loaned them, that have accumulated in the open Community Library Shelf.
Over the last 6 months, the Community Library Shelf has grown tremendously through the kindness and curiosity of Library visitors who have passed through SAM from all over the world. On this night, come browse through the collection, meet some of the contributors, discover new titles and hear the stories behind the loans.
Heterotopia Library is a nomadic artistic research station which first took shape when Lingying and Winnie began their residency with SAM in July 2023. It is the second iteration of the Heterotopia series, a curatorial project that explores and evolves through rhizomatic spaces – transforming and shifting across a variety of activations through workshops, book launches, and conversations. Across the Singapore Art Week (SAW) weekends, Heterotopia Library will host its final slew of activations and thereafter celebrate its finale on Sunday, 28 January.
