Unconference goes straight to the fun part of a conference - the times when people can chat and network. Participants have four minutes to have a speed-dating style one-on-one chat about the art topic - The struggle of the starving artist – necessity or romantic myth? Indulge in deep discussions about the arts through fun challenges and stimuli provided by the organisers. At the end of the evening, four lucky participants will get the chance to enjoy an exclusive late-night supper on the rooftop of The Substation!

Local visual artist Amanda Heng will lead participants drawn from members of the public, in an interactive activity based around the histories and memories of the location around the vicinity of The Substation (eg. Stamford Road, Armenian Street, etc).
This project proposes revisiting the most fundamental, natural, simple and often ignored body action of walking, to explore the relations and possibilities with the experiential, the poetic, performative, narrative, investigative and interactive in the everyday life, the human relations, the political and cultural structure of urban cities.
