======
Join us for a dynamic roundtable featuring experts from the participatory arts, creative health and community outreach. Each expert will share their perspective on how they have integrated slow looking into their professional practices. Together, they will extend the potential of slow looking into socially engaged work as they explore the question: What can slow looking offer as a practical framework to help us create meaningful and lasting relationships with the community?
This roundtable is the culmination of a two-year Slow Art Guide Research Project that led to the development of the new episodes of the Slow Art Guide. Commissioned by the Gallery to be the lead researcher of the project, Dr. Felicia Low will kick off the panel with a presentation on the research process and key findings. She will also share about her experience of applying slow looking in person-centred arts facilitation. Dr. Low will be joined by Dr. Michael Tan and Alicia Teng for the roundtable discussion.
Whether you are from the arts, healthcare or social service sectors, this roundtable will benefit anyone who is looking to build deeper connections with their audience using creative and thoughtful methods.
There is live Speech-to-Text Interpretation during the programme. This programme is at Singapore Courtyard and audiences may sit along the steps. Cushioned seating is available but does not have backrests or armrests. Chairs with backrests are available upon request.
