Words on Art: the world anew

Singapore poet and writer Koh Buck Song casts his ever-curious eye over the Gallery’s artworks, events and spaces against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, drawing on the haiga (a 16th-century Japanese art form combining haiku verse with ink and watercolour sketches) for many of his poems. Both humorous and poignant, the resulting collection captures with energy and optimism snapshots of life during this watershed event.
