SUPPORT our very own Boedi Widjajas Path. 6, Unpacking my Library 。#书城 #Exhibition ; Conversation 15 Nov, 4:00 - 4:45pm Teo Han Wue is a writer and former director of Art Retreat, a private museum. He wrote an article “Debunking the myth of the Chinese-educated” where he showed that the multi-cultural environment of Chinese bookstores in 1950s and 1960s Singapore “eloquently debunks the popular myth that the Chinese educated are inclined to be conservative, … chauvinistic.” Originally sited along North Bridge Road, many of these Chinese bookstores moved to the Bras Basah Complex due to urban development. Han Wue will talk about these Chinese bookstores of the past, some of which were also salons hosting intellectual discussions. Showcase on till 4 Jan #2015 at Jendela Visual Arts Space @ Esplanade. https://facebook/events/759589300761780/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular
