What does a Southeast Asian spoken word community look like, as online platforms break down the physical distance and geographical borders? The pandemic has changed the way live poetry is produced and performed in Singapore and all around the world. In the rubble and confusion of all this, online streaming platforms have created opportunities for the regional community of writers and performers to forge deeper connections. 

As part of Spoke and Bird, a regular spoken word series organised by Stephanie Dogfoot, To Malaysia With Linebreaks is the first of a two-part series that brings together 6 poets from Singapore and Malaysia. These poets will come together to premiere newly-created works that are a unique response to one another’s shared histories, shared borders and shared seas.

This programme is part of "we are not going back, we are coming around", The Substation's programme for Proposals for Novel Ways of Being.
