How was Singapore like 50 years, 200 years or even 1000 years ago? This Children’s Season, let’s investigate and reimagine the past through poetry. Led by poet and performer Deborah Emmanuel, the workshop will be started with simple poetry approaches and ideas in the setting of the NUS Museum’s Radio Malaya: Abridged Conversations About Art exhibition. Participants will then get a chance to write their very own poem and interpret them in their own unique ways through some crafts!

Deborah’s first collection, When I Giggle In My Sleep, was published by Red Wheelbarrow Books early 2015. Her foray into creative non-fiction, Rebel Rites, launched in 2016. When not making poems, Deborah makes music with Wobology, The Ditha Project, Mantravine and Kiat, performs on stage and screen and facilitates workshops. Her most recent work experiments with moving poetry into the physical body and the practice of intuitive illustration.
