MEET & READ

4 & 5 December 2020
6pm–9pm
The Substation SAD Bar
Free admission via registration (Peatix)
Limited to 10 pax at any one time

Immerse in an hour of con-text-ual chaos! Curated by Shaiful Risan (Erasure, Post Punk, Another Way Social Centre and B.A.C.A.), MEET & READ is a gritty imagination of what a literary event could look like. Rooted through the optics of punk rock, this intentionally-vaguely-described event presents a smattering of punk literature, old zines, books and original writings and even a few letters and cassette tape inserts; all of which are open to reading–either to yourself or aloud.

The programme also includes an open mic segment where attendees are welcome to read their original works (or an excerpt of any selected work) and guest speakers at 7pm each night:

• 4 Dec: Michael Chua (Maid In Singapore)

• 5 Dec: Steve Lodge (The Hall of The Shepherd's Pie)

Featuring

Shaiful Risan

Shaiful Risan is involved in many things; from subculture events to theatre to crew work; from being an actor, a director and a host/emcee to a co-ordinator of many more things. He is also known to be an intermediary between various disciplines and a proxy advisory assistant to a few projects within the umbrella of arts and entertainment. He is a proud void deck Mat that doesn't shy away from intellectual confrontations and rigid arguments about how things are. Shaiful Risan is also part of The Substation's Associate Artist Programme (2020/21).
