A fragmented history of art
Published Thu, Mar 19, 2015 · 09:50 PM
JUST how much history does one remember? Especially ancient Singapore history, when it was Temasek, and part of the Indo-Malay world before and during British colonisation?
Probably not a lot - maybe a couple of names here and there like, say, Munshi Abdullah, a Malay chronicler, if that even rings a bell.
Artist Fyerool Darma's first solo exhibition, Moyang (meaning ancestors, in the Malay language), captures how we remember pieces of history, or have fragments of knowledge in our memory.
