Synopsis

While residents eagerly await the opening of the first Hong Kong-Singapore physical travel bubble since the COVID-19 outbreak, poets have taken travel plans into their own (sanitised and socially distanced) hands with the HK-SG Digital Travel Bubble. Co-presented by Sing Lit Station and The Substation, this ekphrastic series pairs together 16 poets for a digital poetry experience that will transport readers between the twinned cities. Playing both tourist and tour guide from behind their screens, ruminate with long-time residents about their favourite nooks and experience the same spots through the fresh eyes of a first-time visitor.
