She holds a Master of Arts with Distinction in Creative Writing (Scriptwriting) from the University of East Anglia, under the National Arts Council Postgraduate Scholarship. She also teaches playwriting at the National University of Singapore and was the writer-in-residence for the Singapore Creative Writing Residency 2014.About the exhibitionThe Third Script is a two-person exhibition by Boo Junfeng (Singapore) and Linda Lai (Hong Kong). It investigates the use of micro-narratives to counter the pedagogy of using a set and linear narrative to define the identity of a city-state and its people. In reaction to the unquestioned methodology of expressing events in linear time, Boo Junfeng and Linda Lai question the authority of this truth through presenting alternatives that express the instability of our memories. In doing so, their work is also a reflection of the failed national project of history writing – to both artists, there isn’t a single collective history for Singapore and Hong Kong; history is always multi-threaded and incomplete.
