Review: The Scent of Memories by Kamini Ramachandran (ARTWALK Little India 2019)

Sharing stories while indulging in Indian-inspired cuisine.  If you haven’t made specific plans to go to CreatureS, it’s a location that could be easily missed, sitting quietly on a corner between a small alleyway and a long row of shops, the only ‘modern’ looking facade along the whole Desker Road. But step into the quaint fusion restaurant, and you’ll be greeted by a space that … Continue reading Review: The Scent of Memories by Kamini Ramachandran (ARTWALK Little India 2019)

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2019: Catamite by Loo Zihan (Review)

A moving lesson on the life-cycle of objects. There is a belief in the Japanese Shinto religion that everything, including everyday household objects, possesses a life force of its own. From umbrellas to notebooks, clothes to food, each of these items, while seemingly non-living, have the potential to mean and be so much more than what they initially appear to be to the right person. … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2019: Catamite by Loo Zihan (Review)
