Some of us may even have collected the range of rubber erasers with different flags printed on them. Eraser wrestling matches may be a thing of the past, but the world in the present is still caught up with complex geographical and political conflicts. If these conflicts between nations could be navigated and negotiated through an Eraser Wrestling Match, what kind of world would that be? After all, who is to say which nation is better than another? 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.Learn more: substation.org/wangbwacaShaiful RisanShaiful 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).About we are not going back, we are coming aroundThe pandemic reveals a broken world. As communities adapt to a new reality, can art heal what is broken, strengthen connections with ourselves, one another and the world and inspire new possibilities for the future? we are not going back, we are coming around is a series of artistic endeavours which explores the role of the arts in a world that is rushing to repair itself and postures a new direction our society could move towards in the wake of this pandemic. Presenting projects by nine artists and collectives of various disciplines, this series centres around three lines of inquiry that address broader questions of rebuilding in a pandemic-stricken world.   Learn more: substation.org/wangbwacaAbout Proposals for Novel Ways of BeingThe Substation is proud to be one of the 12 local art institutions, independent art spaces and collectives coming together for Proposals for Novel Ways of Being. Led by National Gallery Singapore and Singapore Art Museum, Proposals for Novel Ways of Being is an unprecedented collective response by the visual arts community to present a series of exhibitions and programmes, both physical and online. Its title references an earlier name of the virus, i.e. '2019 Novel Coronavirus', which serves as a reminder that we need new ways of being as we grapple with a new reality brought about by this pandemic.
