The counterculture of punk is often
misunderstood as being synonymous with chaos and negativity, when in
fact it is engaged in an ideological interrogation of power and
authority. In Singapore, where globalisation and capitalism are the de
facto structures of everyday life, the DIY punk community has moved from
emulating Western punk rock archetypes to developing its own identity –
one that is relevant to Southeast Asia yet still part of a worldwide
network. Under the banner of SINGAPUNK BIENNALE – PUNK: Process, Progress, Protest,
the community will introduce a variable world of processes that refuses
to acknowledge the idea of permission and governance. Through
workshops, exhibitions and performances, we will empower the visitor and
explore a fresh, socially and locally relevant context of punk. For more info: singapunk@gmail.com |
