Artist Sharon Chin is calling for 100 participants in Malaysia to join her in the making of “In the Skin of A Tiger: Monument to What We Want (Tugu Kita)”, an artwork commissioned by the Singapore Biennale 2019.

The artist is inviting members of the public to sew on 13 plain banners made from recycled flags she collected after recent elections. Afterwards, these solid-coloured, geometric-shaped banners will be hung as a monument in National Gallery Singapore, symbolising the collective hope and effort that leads to change.

The sewing event will take place on Sat and Sun, 17 – 18 Aug 2019, at Balai Seni Negara. BSN is generously hosting this event as part of their Festival Anak Muda programme.

The crafty, relaxed, 1-hour participatory performance will take place in two sessions:

3:00 – 4:00pm, SAT, 17 Aug 2019
3:00 – 5:00pm, SUN, 18 Aug 2019

Each session is limited to 50 people.

Session 1 will end with participants walking with the banners down the spiral ramp of BSN’s rotunda.

Session 2 will end with participants taking the banners on a short walk in the streets surrounding BSN. Those who attended Session 1 are invited to take part in the walk during Session 2.
