Kampung Spirit, Mutual Aid, Whatever You Call It
The concept of communally organised cooperation in times of need is no stranger to Singaporeans. As a round-up to Fringe 2022: The Helpers, Channel NewsTheatre speaks to a panel of festival artists and community organisers about what it means to actively look out for one another in our everyday lives, and whether it is a sustainable response to the systemic inequalities that created such need in the first place.

The Legacies We are Building: an Intergenerational Community Space
The world is on fire. It has been for a long time, but the heat of it all feels extra relentless these days. A lot of us are carrying around the heaviness of despair, wondering how to resist and who to do it with.
How can we hold one another through this? How do we continue legacies built by those before us while building some of our own to pass on? What can we learn from one another, in this ever-changing world, where oppressive structures keep shapeshifting and violence takes on different faces?
Come join us in our community space to ask questions, share discussions and mingle!
