CoLabs

The WrICE ‘CoLabs’ are co-created creative experiments in collaboration and creative writing, which extend and further test the WrICE model for encounter and exchange. They contribute to the project’s research by designing and staging site-specific and locally embedded activations of the WrICE alumni network. Developed through an iterative process, each CoLab builds upon previous findings. Each time, a selected group of WrICE alumni is invited to participate in a newly imagined version of the collaborative residency.

CoLab Singapore

CoLab Singapore was staged as a Public Residency, a week-long durational event with the invited writers resident together all day, each day in the Supreme Court Foyer of the National Gallery of Singapore. The CoLab Singapore Public Residency, and an associated Public Reading at Arts House, Singapore, formed part of the 2022 Singapore Writers Festival. Invited writers Cheng Tim Tim, Suchen Christine Lim, Gratiagusti Chananya Rompas, Nha Thuyen, Alvin Pang, Lawrence Lacambra Ypil joined facilitator/writers Francesca Rendle-Short and David Carlin, with writer/researcher Lily Rose Tope, in the CoLab.
