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 & Bird, a regular spoken word series organised by Stephanie Dogfoot, To Philippines With Linebreaks is the second of a two-part series that brings together 6 poets from Singapore and the Philippines. 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.

The session will be moderated by Stephanie Dogfoot.

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