As we launch into October, watch a short film by an acclaimed Taiwanese artist, jump into a cheeky pool party, swing your hips to reggae at The Projector, dance with awesome music and good food, and more!
Screenings: Chia-Wei Hsu
The popular NTU CCA at Gillman Barracks is back with yet another screening, and this time it’s a series of works by award-winning Taiwanese artist Chia-Wei Hsu, known for unearthing histories of the Cold War and bringing them back to life through narratives that blend myth and reality. The three works, completed over a span of more than five years, are Huai Mo Village (2012) and Ruins of The Intelligence Bureau (2015), both produced in Thailand, and also White Building (2016), filmed on a rooftop in Cambodia. Tackling everything from the story of exiled Chinese soldiers who settled at the Thai-Myanmar border to the Khmer Rouge’s violent repression in Cambodia, this is your chance to meet the artist in person!
Screenings: Chia-Wei Hsu is happening on Friday, 6 October 2017, 7.30pm – 9pm, at NTU Centre for Contemporary Art. Admission is free. For more details, check out the event page here.
Reggae Remedy Live at The Projector
If you haven’t caught Singapore’s rising reggae band Reggae Remedy live yet, you won’t want to miss this one-night-only show at The Projector this weekend.

Really, it’s all about the groove.
