Exactly Foundation: I Remember It All

$25.00

Seelan Palay expresses his fascination with his family’s treasure trove of photographs predating the era of digital photography and their ability to trigger memories of his past lived experiences. The sights, the sounds, the smells, the way “things were”: all of these come to the surface much more vividly when he holds on to and looks at these photographs.

The keynote essay, Art as Resistance, is written by writer and civil society activist, Constance Singam. In the past 35 years, Constance has led women’s organizations, co-founded civil society groups, and has been a columnist for various national newspapers and publications. Her works include co-editing A History of the TWC: Building Social Space in Singapore, Re-Presenting Singapore Women and The Art of Advocacy in Singapore, as well as two memoirs – Where I was: A Memoir from the Margins and Never Leave Town without Chilli Sauce.
