[AAP] Invitation to "Introduction to Punggol" Sharing Session
Introduction
The Artist Associate Programme (AAP) is OH!’s flagship residency programme, presented this year in partnership with Art Outreach Singapore. It reimagines artistic practice beyond the studio by embedding artists within a neighbourhood, creating opportunities to experiment with site-specific and community-engaged approaches.
This iteration of the AAP will take place in Punggol, and it will bring together four local and two international artists. The residency begins with a two-week Curatorial Intensive, comprising workshops, talks, and site visits led by artists, curators, and arts organisations working in site-specific and community engaged practices.
We'd love to invite you to join us as our guests for selected talks and visits happening during the Curatorial Intensive!
