Long acronym aside, the Yellow Ribbon Community Art & Poetry Exhibition (YRCAPE) is a multimedia art exhibition that showcases works by by present and former inmates in Singapore. The theme for this year's exhibition is A Garden of Possibilities, and it's been a pleasure to be part of the programme.
Sometime in May/June this year, SingLit Station invited me to conduct a series of poetry-writing workshops for a group of male inmates at Changi Prison. The poems created during the workshops serve to complement the participants' artworks and lend an extra dimension to their pieces by putting into words their thoughts, hopes and yearnings. Originally, the YRCAPE exhibition was slated to be held at Gardens by the Bay this year. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the organisers decided to move the event online. There's a guided video tour of the exhibition by curator John Tung after the break:
