About the Programme/Event

'Art' and 'Craft' are two terms that tend to conjure divergent philosophies and understanding of aesthetics. Through the works of two Singaporean artists - Iskandar Jalil and the late Jaafar Latiff - this presentation hopes to provide some inroads into their art practices and how they negotiated and at times, resisted categorisations.
