Monthly Thursdays 19:30 - 21:00, with Germy Png & Perlu
ANAK BERMASALAH // 问题儿童 (“problem child”) deals with Southeast Asian folk music/poetry archives, but also related to us being our parents’ and country’s “problem children” as queer Singaporeans.
We discuss the context of each archival recording, which often includes a colonial history and problematic titles/descriptions and liner notes in accompaniment with field recordings and at times not-so-clever improvisation.
We’re not professional researchers, but we try our best to learn, and we’d love to bring you along!
