** Update on panel line-up Unfortunately, one of our panelists Kate Pocklington has had to withdraw from the panel due to unforeseen circumstances. We are delighted to have Siddharta Perez, curator at the NUS Museum, join us as our new panelist. Please note that the timing and venue of the event remain unchanged. By drawing on specific project examples, this panel discussion looks at how artistic approaches to historical narratives can expand our historical imagination. We will discuss the ways in which history can be constructed and performed outside of conventional academic settings.
