Civic Life in London .....
Almost one week ago, on 31 January 2011, 'Civic Life' was shown in London at the Curzon Renoir Cinema - where the latest addition to the body of work by Chris and Joe - Tiong Bahru - received its London Premier!
Needless to say, during the Q&A, many, in the almost full house - were impressed by the body of work, and also how Tiong Bahru brought together many of the duo's earlier themes and concerns in a well considered and lyrical manner.... (more reviews in separate posting coming up soon!)
Here are some pictures of the event - kindly sponsored by the Singapore International Foundation, who brought over not just the taste of home - but also, lots of items that gave the UK audience an idea of the architectural and social heritage of Singapore (thanks to White Canvas Gallery for the posters of the sketches that was done last year!!! Big shout to you all there!) ...
and also of the multi-ethnic-lingual-cultural environment that we should be proud of and should cherish and nurture!
Amongst the guests were many ex-expats who spent time in Singapore, film buffs, and also those who were interested in community engagement through art.... and during the reception, many groups of Singaporeans based in London were seen discussing what was the meaning of 'home' in a globalised world...
Your correspondant here with Chris and Joe... who we have to thank for working with us in Tiong Bahru to realise the film...
And here is Ms Tan Shzr Ee, who provided the Mandarin voice-over for part of the film, with the poster of the film!
We were also very pleased that the event was graced by our High Commissioner H.E. Michael Teo... more pictures to follow!
In the meantime, wishing one and all - a GREAT START to the New Year!
