CALL FOR PHOTO SUBMISSIONS
Is there a family photo lying around that speaks volumes about life in the ‘60s? Or snaps of buildings that have since been demolished? Or once shot an event on the fly?
Photographs are crucial witnesses, in addition to written and oral narratives, that serve people in reliving, understanding and evaluating things that have once been.
Living with Myths seeks photographic representations that capture Singapore throughout its evolution, from the 1950s through to today.
We are seeking thought-provoking images, or images that reveal an unknown or hidden side of Singapore history.
All entries will be considered for the website and promotional materials of our ongoing seminars, as well as the compendium of essays slated to be published in 2016.
