FOOD Eat. Secure. Sustain.
NTU CCA IdeasFest is a platform for the critical exchange of ideas and encourages
“out-of-the box” thinking by linking artist and academic communities to grassroots
initiatives and small-scale, nimble entrepreneurial enterprises. This year’s iteration
of NTU CCA IdeasFest 2023 is titled FOOD Eat. Secure. Sustain. in a call for art, archi
tecture and design to rise to the demands of the state of ecology today. The forum is
a collaboration between NTU CCA Singapore and Future Cities Laboratory (FCL)
Global, Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) and presents projects that investigate ways to
restore food security throughout our stressed planetary system.
Since its pilot edition in 2016–17, NTU CCA IdeasFest has been a collective gathering
centred in contemporary issues and ideas and the development of cross-disciplinary
initiatives. By involving participants across art, architecture, design, urban planning
and science alongside members of impacted communities, NTU CCA IdeasFest aims
to identify and support potential solutions by bringing together knowledges from
different fields.
Building upon NTU CCA Singapore’s long-term research theme “Climates. Habitats.
Environments,” the third edition of NTU CCA IdeasFest contemplates urgent concerns including the instability of current food systems and proposes actionable steps
for sustainable and equitable food production and consumption cycles. We begin
by asking a wide range of questions around how harmful anthropocentric activity
diminishes nature’s capacity to nourish life. Such challenges demand re-thinking
modes of food production and consumption and highlight the need for listening to
those impacted most severely. Connecting existing practices across the region,

�NTU CCA IdeasFest 2023 proposes a deeper transregional understanding of the
impacts of climate change in Singapore and Southeast Asia and intends to generate
transferable blueprints for adapting to new environmental realities.
As the global population continues to urbanise, food and nutritional security have
become key areas of concern, leading to implications in other spheres of life, especially in densely populated cities in Asia. Food security hinges on sustainable food
subsystems, including farming, waste management, and supply infrastructures,
which in turn interact with trade, energy, and health structures. While we are seeing
traditional agricultural land on the city fringes giving way to urban sprawl or landscapes of large-scale monocultural farming, the imperative to rethink the entire food
cycle has become more acute. FOOD Eat. Secure. Sustain. will focus on urban food as
a lever for resilience, exploring cases where cities like Singapore have become
centres for alternative food practices and experimentation, which are vital in
creating solutions for urgent sustainability challenges
Over a period of four days, 15 international and Singapore-based architects, artists,
researchers and community leaders will lead discussions on the following themes:
Food Ecosystems, Urban Food Alternatives, Non-Conventional Food Sources and
Food Industries. Everyone is encouraged to share and engage in cooperative projects—a conference at CREATE Tower or at workshops and exhibitions on view at
NTU CCA Singapore in Gillman Barracks, and across Singapore.
Invited participants include Irene Agrivina, Madhumitha Ardhanari, Carlos Banon,
Britto Arts Trust’s Mahbubur Rahman and Shimul Saha, Prof. William Chen,

Collective Making and Domestic Hacking
Saturday, 18 February 2023
11.00am
Digital technology innovations tend to secure knowledge in the hands of a limited
number of institutions and corporations, but Indonesian group Critical Making
adheres to the principle of openness, organised through citizen initiation and run by
grassroots-level collectives, to create physical objects much like how the open-source
movement allows for innovations in software. Each individual has the right and
access to knowledge and the process of creating with materials and technology.
In Indonesia, collectives play an important role as the driving force of the cultural
sector and as catalysts for social and economic development. However, even though
these collectives are open to any gender, female and nonbinary gender participation in
open science and citizen science movements are still relatively small and imbalanced.
Moreover, in the digital technology industry at large, true inclusion remains lacking, as
women, trans people, and
children are “included” as
mere users and consumers. This non-inclusive
creation process creates
inequality and stifles true
innovation. Domestic
Hacking intervenes by
involving women, trans
people, and children in
making and hacking.

Circularity and 3D-printing for Addressing Urban Agriculture
for Sustainable Future Cities
Saturday, 18 February 2023
4.00pm
Venue: Auditorium, National Design Centre, 111 Middle Road, Singapore 188969
The Dense and Green Cities Future Cities Lab Global (FCL-G) in collaboration with
the Architecture Intelligence Research Lab (AIRLAB) @SUTD showcases the architecture of urban agriculture for building sustainable cities at the National Design Centre.
The exhibition Circular Futures: Next Gen., curated by Associate Professor Carlos
Banon, is centred in the themes of architecture, agriculture, design and sustainability,
and demonstrates how digital design and
additive manufacturing (3D printing) is a
powerful enabler of a circular economy.
During his talk, Banon presents prototypes of floating and vertical farms that

Human Created Food Crisis
Friday, 17 February 2023
10.20am
A human-created food crisis is often thought of as a famine resulting from war—and is
sometimes weaponised as a tool of war between nation-states. Within nation-states,
domestic food policy features as a critical component of economic and human development, parallel to processes of urbanisation and industrialisation. However, this drive
of “development” is often countered by devastating implications for social, cultural,
ecological biodiversity. Moreover, due to globalisation, food crises are not contained
by geopolitical borders, and now, in belated acknowledgement of our planetary reality,
food crises permeate at every scale, from microbiome to atmosphere. Food politics are
life politics. Food has always been a big concern in projects by Britto Arts Trust. ZERO
WASTE-FoodArt (2019) was initiated during the Covid-19 pandemic, where artists and
art collectives, within Bangladesh and abroad, could grow, make and share food within
their communities—while reutilising waste to grow, make and share art.

Clinically Relevant Materials & Applications Inspired by Food Technologies
Friday, 17 February 2023
10.00am
Food science and technology has a fundamental and considerable overlap with medicine, and many clinically important applications were born out of translational food
science research. Globally, the food industry generates huge quantities of agro-waste
and food processing by-products that retain significant biochemical potential for
upcycling into important medical applications. This review explores some distinct
clinical applications that are fabricable from food-based biopolymers and substances,
often originating from food manufacturing side streams. These include antibacterial
wound dressings and tissue scaffolding from biopolymers cellulose and chitosan
as well as antimicrobial food phytochemicals for combating antibiotic-resistant
nosocomial infections. Furthermore, fermentation is discussed as the epitome of a
translational food technology that unlocks further therapeutic value from recalcitrant
food-based substrates and enables sustainable large-scale production of high-value
pharmaceuticals, including novel fermented food-derived bioactive peptides (BPs).

I Have Never Seen a Swimming Salmon in My Life
Friday, 17 February 2023
5.30pm
Born into a fisherman’s family that regularly hosted and attended seafood banquets,
fish has always been a mainstay in Fan Chon’s diet. In recent years, fish has also
become a recurring motif in his practice. He understands food consumption as a
constant negotiation between nature and culture inflected by social norms. During
his flash lecture, Fan Chon will share about his latest research on how pigments turn
tissues of various organisms, including salmon, into a pinkish-red hue. Besides its
distinctive colour, its consumption bespeaks the Western lifestyle aspirations of a
rising global middle class, prompting conversations on salmon as a class symbol in
Southeast Asia, our need to alter/design the colour of food, and food consumption
informed by cultural practice and class aspiration.

Despite all good intentions and efforts of establishing sustainable food systems to
support a steadily growing global population, traditional food production systems
and their associated value chains are exceeding our planetary boundaries. This talk
highlights how ovel production technologies, integrated sustainabiity assessment and
further data integration into national food systems through nutritional, environmental and social indicators could be a basis for a holistically developed, more sustainable food system. The focus for innovative system changes is emerging microalgae

CLOSING THE LOOP: The Role of Circular Economy in the Food Sector
Thursday, 16 February 2023
6.30pm
Our present global crises oblige us to accelerate the move towards a low-carbon
future. This includes the transition from a linear economy, defined by the consumption of finite resources and the accumulation of waste, to a circular economy, which
redefines growth by prioritising both people and the planet. In our current linear
economy, the food sector and its bio-waste accounts for the largest single component
of municipal waste landfills and is a significant source of greenhouse gases such as
methane. As part of a circular economy, bio-waste can bring gains linked to multiple
higher-value products, such as natural fertilisers for agriculture, energy production,
and even protein feed for aquaculture or farming.
In this keynote address, Huerta presents the main impacts of a linear economy food
system and the importance of introducing a well-functioning circular economy
food system. She will focus on applying solutions from the natural world and how
to implement a sustainable organic loop system.

On Palms, Weevils, and Owls: Tracing more-than-human Labour
in the Oil Palm Territories of Johor, Malaysia
Saturday, 18 February 2023
10.40am
This lecture discusses plantation agriculture as a technology aimed at extracting
natural resources and unpaid labour as well as installing regulatory authority. It is
focused on palm oil plantation territories iin the state of Johor in Malaysia, one of
the core zones of palm oil production, refining, and export. Through the operationalisation of territory, the presentation brings the discourse on the Plantationocene
into dialogue with critical urban studies. Palms, weevils, and owls are uncovered as
surprising agents in the production process, highlighting the fact that more-thanhuman assemblages have been utilised to enable the expansion of Malaysian palm oil
plantations and the socio-ecological transformation of territory. The entanglements
of agro-industrial operationalisation of territory and more-than-human life on the
plantations are traced temporally, showing the fragility of plantation ecologies on
which the global palm oil commodity chains depend.

Hello! I am a Black Soldier Fly and I am Transforming the Global Food System
Friday, 17 February 2023
9.40am
What does a future-proof food system look like? How do we ensure a circular food
system in our cities? To ensure a truly circular food system, food waste management
holds the key to closing the loop. This talk presents a nature-based solution for
urban food waste management using the Black soldier fly. Black soldier flies (BSF)
represent an opportunity for realising a key principle of the circular economy by
targeting organic waste for continuous circulation into novel forms of value. BSF are
fast-growing insects that can transform food waste into sustainable high-protein feed
ingredients for poultry and aquaculture diets. These high-tech, high-producing,
space-efficient farms could become an integral part of Singapore’s food system by
helping to reduce and recycle food waste. They can be embedded into our dense
urban environment to use land efficiently and synergise with the built environment
of Singapore to also reap social benefits of urban agriculture. This talk elaborates on
developing design, network and operational solutions for BSF integration in dense
urban environments.

Reporting on Singapore’s Innovations of Cultivated Meat
Friday, 17 February 2023
5.50pm
From chicken made in a test tube to protein grown “out of thin air,” new ways of
growing meat are emerging, and Singapore is leading the way. How do we talk about
foods that are unfamiliar to us? This presentation examines how cultivated meats
are made newsworthy through language and what values are conveyed. Focusing on
The Straits Times, we examine articles published between 2019 and 2022 and identify
news values and themes of positivity, impact, proximity, eliteness and superlativeness, which construct a sociocultural understanding of novel foods as positive, innovative and profitable. We discuss how this may motivate social and personal mobilisation of food choices by placing trust in the government and science technology.

How Singapore is Addressing Global Food and Environmental Challenges
Through Alternative Proteins
Friday, 17 February 2023
2.00pm
Protein demand is surging around the world, including here in Asia. As a result, conventional meat production is projected to nearly double by 2050, leading to historic
levels of natural resource depletion and climate disruption. Industrialised animal
agriculture is already responsible for roughly 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions, and
more than three quarters of all agricultural land is used to raise or feed livestock. In
this talk, we outline how alternative proteins can satisfy this rising consumer demand
in a more efficient and secure way and spotlight Singapore’s initiatives for developing
a future-proof global food supply.

E.A.T. Borneo’s first homegrown conference, titled Innovate. Elevate. Celebrate.,
was focused around FOOD and took place in October 2022, in Kuching, Malaysia’s
UNESCO “City of Gastronomy.” The driving force behind this movement was the idea
of sustainability and security, to address the fact that significantly more resources
go into our global food system than come out of it. Food connects people. Food is
political. Food is our past, present and future. Food is art, culture and a way of life.
Meaningful dialogue and shared learning becomes a catalyst for growth and future
collaborations with diverse people from the food system from across the world.
E.A.T. serves as a platform to initiate and negotiate conversations, enable more
creations, elevate connections and celebrate different producers and consumers in
the food system. Conversation does matter, and we’re all strangers at first. To address
change, it needs conversation and negotiation between various people from diverse
backgrounds. This year’s conference theme, Collaborate. Curate. Co-Create, focuses
on the many cultures from Southeast Asia.

Architecture of urban agriculture for building sustainable cities
Friday, 17 February 2023
1.30pm
The fourth agriculture revolution is predominately situated in cities and encompasses
the three pillars of sustainability—social, environmental, and economic. It is expected
to bridge together people and the planet through eco-friendly food production systems
in urban areas. Urban Agriculture is thus seen as a significant addition to the architectural vocabulary for future cities. This talk touches on the theme of architecture,
agriculture, design and sustainability as we explore the potential of future technologies in the form of digital and additive manufacturing (3D printing) as a key enabler
in integrating these concepts within sustainable urban agriculture. The talk explores
the evolving field of urban agriculture architecture and presents the journey of the
architectural evolving elements for planning a circular, sustainable, regenerative and
productive future city.

Sarawak Rice: From Traditional Significance To Modern Sustainability
Saturday, 18 February 2023
9.40am
Rice is the most widely eaten staple across Asia, though it’s often merely a vehicle
for other, more exciting foods. In Sarawak’s traditional indigenous culture, this grain
has great ritual and cosmological significance. Set against a backdrop of extreme
rainforest biodiversity and management dating back 50,000 years, it is one that has
long puzzled anthropologists. Modern agricultural research confirms that Sarawak
now has at least 100 heirloom varieties, many of them unique to this area, and most
of them boasting a flavour, texture and aroma profile unmatched by commercially
available alternatives. This lecture gives background to the importance of rice in
Sarawak’s indigenous and gastronomic
environment and address the approaches
being taken by the UCCN Kuching team
to make the story of rice into the story
of Sarawak: its indigenous land tenure, its relationship with this land and
its modern, sustainable landscape. It
furthermore explores how the UNESCO
designation has impacted this as part of a
larger network focused on food security
and food justice, sustainability and traditional knowledge systems.

Consumer Acceptance of Alternative Proteins: Enduring and Emerging Issues
Friday, 17 February 2023
2.40pm
Rising food prices, disease-inflicted livestock and a shortage of imported chicken
meat are emerging issues of concern in Singapore. The world affects what we eat, and
what we eat impacts the world. Are alternative proteins a possible answer? Would
you consider them?
Our daily food choices have a huge impact on the environment. Production of meat
has a much larger impact compared to the production of vegetable-based proteins.
To create a food production and supply system that is more sustainable and environmentally friendly, food consumption behaviour needs to change. A reduction of meat
intake is necessary. The introduction of alternative protein sources—for instance,
those reliant on insects, cultured meat, or microalgae—could be a potential solution
to replace meat. This presentation highlights the aspect of consumer acceptance and
potential barriers for the creation of novel food products based on alternative proteins.

Workshop
Saturday, 18 February 2023
4.00 – 6.00pm
Venue: NTU CCA Singapore, Block 38 Malan Road, #01-06, Singapore 109441
Carotenoids are naturally-occurring pigments that turn the tissues of various organisms, including salmon, into a pinkish-red hue. While the pink pigmentation of wild
salmon is due to a natural diet made of krill and shrimp, the flesh of farmed salmon
is either grey or off-white. In order to achieve the vibrant hue that makes salmon
appealing to consumers, farmed salmon are regularly fed synthetic carotenoids (astaxanthin) to emulate the colour of wild salmon. Besides its distinctive colour, salmon is
also seen as a premium source of protein in Southeast Asia. Its consumption bespeaks
the Western lifestyle aspirations of a rising global middle class. It can be found at
higher-end supermarket fish counters and restaurant menus and is featured in luxury
hotels’ high-tea services as our food chains become increasingly globalised. It is a
common food preparation practice to change or add colour to our food in Southeast
Asia, especially in pickled fruit and desserts. This workshop will put the How to turn
your siakap into salmon instruction video work into practice by inviting participants
to make salmon tea sandwiches with pre-dyed siakap (barramundi) with a selection of
natural and synthetic dying agents. It intends to prompt conversations on salmon as
a class symbol in Southeast Asia, our need to alter/design the colour of food, and food
consumption informed by cultural practice and class aspiration through an afternoon
session of preparing and sampling “salmon” tea sandwiches together.

Borneo’s biodiversity.
The group invites workshop participants
to share ways of crafting perceived value
for an often-overlooked item. The highly
interactive session aims to generate suggestions and sensory narratives for positioning Sarawak rice in a modern global

Despite Hoo Fan Chon’s hope that the residency at Helsinki International Artist
Programme would provide some respite from his obsession with fish-based iconography and symbolism, upon arriving in Helsinki the artist found himself immediately
drawn to the salmon pink colour that commonly adorns buildings in Finland. This
chromatic cue ignited his interest in issues of taste, class aesthetics, and fish culture
triggering an erratic investigation about the cosmetic processing of farmed salmon, the
environmental plight of this fish, and the social status of its consumption as a signifier
of class and wealth. Inspired by amateur tutorials commonly found on YouTube, the
video How to turn your siakap into salmon illustrates DIY techniques to colour fish.
While the pink pigmentation of wild salmons is due to a natural diet made of krill and
shrimp, the flesh of farmed salmon is off-white. In order to achieve the vibrant hue
that makes salmon appealing to consumers, farmed salmons are regularly fed
synthetic carotenoids, the health implications of which are still under scrutiny. In
Southeast Asia, salmon is a luxury good and its consumption bespeaks the Western
lifestyle aspirations of a rising global middle class.
The ironic speculation on how to “domesticate” a foreign species continues in I have
never seen a swimming salmon in my life. Accompanied by a voiceover by Sir David
Attenborough borrowed from an advocacy campaign to protect salmon, the installation features 3D animations of salmon cuts—fillet, loin and streak—swimming
inside a fish tank, a staple fixture in Chinese seafood restaurants. The artist’s familiar-yet-distant relation to salmon culminates with Finnish landscape painting series,
an installation featuring 13 paintings hung on a salmon pink wall. In this series, the
artist introduced the motif of the proverbial “carp leaping over the dragon’s gate” and
auspicious Chinese blessings into existing Finnish landscape paintings purchased in
thrift shops around Helsinki. Both salmon and carps are known for their strength and
jumping ability; in Chinese culture, the iconography of the leaping carp symbolises
courage and perseverance leading to wealth and prestige.

The small island state of Singapore imports 90% of food from overseas and uses less
than 1% of its land for agricultural use. Developing approaches to an alternative food
system based on insects, seaweed, microalgae or cultured meat can contribute to
securing a resilient food future for Singapore and contribute to its “30 by 30” policy.
But how do we create a circular food system in our cities? Food waste management
holds the key to closing the loop. This exhibition demonstrates a nature-based solution for urban food waste management using the black soldier fly, the superfly that
is transforming the global food system. It showcases how black soldier fly facilities
convert local food waste into high-quality animal feed and fertilizers, which can then
be used by other forms of urban agriculture, such as vertical or indoor farming and
aquaponics. On display is your food’s journey from consumption to waste processing,
showing how the black soldier flies upcycle it into by-products that carry valuable
nutrients back into the food chain. This process not only helps to use land efficiently
but also to synergise the built environment of Singapore with the social benefits of
urban agriculture.
This research is a collaboration between researchers from the National University
of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore-ETH Centre and
ETH Zurich. This research is supported by the National Research Foundation,
Prime Minister’s Office, Singapore under its Campus for Research Excellence and
Technological Enterprise (CREATE) programme.

Considering urbanisation through the lens of food is important as cities grow, particularly in Asia, where cities are consuming fertile agricultural land at an unprecedented
rate. Simultaneously, the industrialised agricultural practices developed to meet the
rising food demands of urbanising populations are degrading and residualising the
countryside. Mitigating the impact of climate change on Singapore’s food security
requires both short-term tactics and long-term strategies. This includes sustainable
and smart production in source countries and locally in Singapore, as well as raising
public awareness on food waste. Displayed is the journey of rice—one of Singapore’s
staple food sources, from its cultivation, processing, transportation and arrival in
Singapore. As an island nation that highly depends on imports, Singapore relies
heavily on the global food chain to source even its most basic food ingredients. This
interactive exhibition shows, in a playful way, the pressing food-related challenges
and hardship of conventional food cultivation.

With nearly half of the total land area on the planet dedicated to agricultural production, the urbanisation and industrialisation of agrarian territories have emerged
among the most urgent impacts affecting ecologies and ecosystems around the world.
Their effects include increasing dependence on fertilisers, pesticides and fossil fuels;
depletion of soil fertility, water and natural resources; consumption of land; forced
migration, and other disadvantages for local populations. Through fieldwork in agrarian regions supporting Zurich and Singapore, Potential Agriterritories explores critical
questions emerging under 21st-century planetary urbanisation. We asked ourselves,
what would be the alternatives to global food regimes that shape regional agricultural
landscapes and local food cultures? Can we de-commodify agricultural territories
of the Global North, such as those we encounter around Zurich? Can we decolonise
plantations of the Global South, such as palm oil plantations surrounding Singapore?
Can we re-examine the ways in which plants and animals are used in industrial food
systems? How can novel and pioneering practices—from regenerative to solidarity
agriculture—move us towards more local and regional food systems? What potential
agrarianisms from today, and rural experiences from the past, may help restore relationships of care and reciprocity with soil and biodiversity?
The exhibition showcases parts of an evolving research and design archive created by
Architecture of Territory at ETH Zurich. The two large maps explore urbanisation processes and their effects on emerging agricultural territories and landscapes in the metropolitan regions of Zurich (2023) and the Singapore-Johor-Riau (2015). Placed in dialogue,
those maps present foreign and familiar (agricultural) landscapes with the intent to
provoke critical reflection on regional, sustainable food production amongst the ongoing
agricultural intensification and urbanisation. The video footage shows agricultural practices in Singapore-Johor-Riau and around Zurich, including experimental and pioneering
practices of permaculture, solidarity agriculture and biodynamic farming.

Despite decent intentions of establishing sustainable food systems to support a steadily growing global population, traditional food production systems and their associated value-chains are exceeding our planetary boundaries. Sustaining a growing and
increasingly urbanised population will require the development of novel food production and processing concepts that focus on shifting traditional linear production concepts towards circular solutions. Singapore aims to increase its domestic, independent food supply and a population growing under highly urbanised constraints with
the “30 by 30” initiative. However, arable land in Singapore is limited and traditional
food production and processing methods alone cannot meet this goal. This exhibition highlights how a state-of-the-art urban single-cell protein production platform
could support Singapore in reaching it using microalgae, embedded in the context of
the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals—and explores what microalgae
looks like, how it grows and is processed as well as potential taste experiences.

Shaktheeshwari Silvaraju is a Doctoral
Researcher at NUS and Wilmar International
under Asst. Prof. Nalini Puniamoorthy
(NUS) and Dr Sandra Kittelmann (Wilmar
International). Her research focuses on investigating the performance of black soldier flies on
nutritionally poor waste streams from edible
oil extraction and characterising their gut
microbiome.
Chloe Tan is a research assistant in Assoc.
Prof. Roman Carrasco’s lab. Her research
aims to tease apart and identify the important
factors relating to consumers’ acceptance or
rejection of novel food alternatives such as
insect-based meat, cultured meat and cooking
oils produced from insects and microbes.
Milica Topalovic (Serbia/Switzerland)
is an Associate Professor of Architecture
and Territorial Planning at the Department
of Architecture, ETH Zurich. Her work is
concerned with territories beyond-the city and
transformation processes they are exposed
to through the movement of capital, social
restructuring, and environmental change. With
researchers and students at the Architecture of
Territory she undertook a range of territorial
studies and design projects around the world,
in remote regions, resource hinterlands, and
countrysides, to decenter and ecologise architect’s approaches to the city, the urban, and
generation through a campus experiment. In
her spare time, Yanyun is a nature lover, and
you may run into her in natural spaces across
Singapore during holidays.
Carole Zermatten (Switzerland/Singapore) is
a Food Science student who joined SingaporeETH-Center for her Master thesis. Her research
focuses on microalgae cultivation to develop
urban food production systems. Microalgae
are unicellular organisms containing healthful
proteins and omega-3 fatty acids which can be
grown in bioreactors with little arable land and
low carbon footprint. In her work, she explores
and compares gentle permeabilisation techniques to open up the cells and extract their
valuable components in order to fully benefit
from microalgae nutritional potential.
Dr. Huang Zhaolu (China/Singapore) worked
at the Tropical Technologies (T2) Laboratory.
In the BIA project, she led the empirical
experiments. She has experience in agriculture related studies, such as smart agriculture
service and real crops planting studies.She
has a background in environmental ecology,
bioengineering, and agriculture application.
She planted the vegetables and analyzing the
status of the plants, including their growth and
nutrients content so that the BIA could reach
higher harvest with lower cost. She contributes to optimise the growing conditions and
consider more about the sustainability.
Dr. Shi Zhongming’s (China/Singapore) doctoral research was part of the research grant
for FCL2’s project, Multi-Scale Energy Systems
for Low Carbon Cities (MuSES). His research
was built upon the concept of energy-driven
urban design at the district scale. His research
relied on parametric urban design models
in Grasshopper, coupled with the City Energy
Analyst, an open-source energy simulation
program developed by team members in Zurich
and Singapore. In the BIA Project, he led
the BIA-App development and computational
works using the City Energy Analyst.

�ABOUT NTU CCA IDEASFEST
A platform to catalyse the critical exchange of ideas and encourage thinking outside the
box. It is a bottom-up approach linking the artistic and the academic with community
groups and grassroots initiatives. The pilot edition, Cities for People (2016–17), expanded
on artistic interventions and engaged with contemporary issues such as air, water, food,
environment, and social interaction in connection to artistic and cultural fields, academic
research, and design applications. This second iteration IdeasCity Singapore (2020), guest
curated by IdeasCity, New Museum NYC, explored the role of art and culture beyond
the walls of the museum, and examined the urgency of solidarity structures in negating
climate change and its impact on Southeast Asia and communities worldwide.

<p>Developed in the wake of <span><em>alon</em><em>g </em><em>waves of gravity –a solidar </em><em>y of holes</em></span>, this participatory workshop further explores Artist-in-Residence Kin Chui’s interests in the histories, ideologies, and cultural contexts of monuments as well as their purchase on collective memory. Scheduled during Hungry Ghost Festival, the workshop is a hands-on session of “monument making” which takes its cue from the traditional rituals of the seventh lunar month when bamboo and rice paper effigies are burnt to appease wandering spirits. By building ephemeral structures inspired by existing and/or imaginary monuments and consigning them to a speculative afterlife, workshop participants will embark on a journey where symbols and shared ideals are transformed and regenerated.</p>
<p>The workshop is free and by registration only. Available spaces are limited.</p>

Cultures, Climate Crisis and Disappearing Ecologies
1–3 December 2022
Jakarta, Indonesia
Join virtually at
bit.ly/KONNECTASEAN_CF
Conceived by Professor Ute Meta Bauer, founding director and Magdalena Magiera, curator and
research associate , NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore. In partnership with KONNECT
ASEAN and in-kind support of Goethe-Institut Singapore and Jakarta.
�Tita Salina and Irwan Ahmett, The Call of Fragility - Through
the lens of Eurasian Plate fragility in Java Island (Indonesia)
and Turkey, 2022, video still. Courtesy the artists.
�Notes from the Curators
Climate Futures #1: Cultures, Climate Crisis,
and Disappearing Ecologies takes the
format of a three-day on-site conference
that will be distributed globally via live
stream. It has been conceived to allow a
better understanding of the accelerated
decline in cultural and ecological diversity
across Southeast Asia, one of the regions
most impacted by climate change.
This transregional and transdisciplinary
gathering proposes to look at how the
endangerment of traditional cultures
and forms of knowledge in the face of
environmental challenges affects the
region’s ecosystems. It is the aim of this
conference to foreground and expound
upon the fundamental interconnectedness
of these often separately negotiated fields.
By involving participants from the spheres
of art, design, and the media, alongside
members of impacted communities,
we hope to contribute to finding and
implementing tangible solutions based on
citizen climate action. This get-together of
stakeholders, scientists, academics, artists,
activists and self-organized initiatives
will study and document the precarious
conditions of this climate-vulnerable
region primarily by means of audio-visual
cultural practices. It will also analyse the
many ways in which climate change is
linked to histories of extractivism and the
cultivation of mono-cultures.
The conference intends to map how the
climate crisis informs contemporary
perceptions of the world, while exploring
how diverse cultures can take ownership
of the process of adaptation to new
environmental realities without losing a
sense of purpose. Discussions will touch
upon rising sea-levels and temperatures,
and the loss of flora and fauna as well as
of traditional forms of knowledge. Speakers
will point to the pluralism of ecologies, and
the many ways in which species and their
social relations are in stress due to climate
change.
The effects of culture loss – caused by
the climate crisis or otherwise – are far
reaching. It will require dialogue and
debate across many forms of border to
establish the kind of productive exchange
that might result in meaningful shifts
in policy as well as contributing to a
widespread acceptance of the need to
change the ways we live and live together.
The loss of habitat and ecosystems strip
communities of their sense of kinship,
belonging and dignity in a way that cannot
fail to impact future generations. A climate
future can only be achieved by means of
a holistic approach and a transformation
that respects ancestral relationships to
land, water, and air.
�We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and
express gratitude towards the people, organisations, and
government bodies that made the creation of Climate Futures
#1: Cultures, Climate Crisis, and Disappearing Ecologies
possible, namely ASEAN, KONNECT ASEAN, ASEAN Foundation,
ASEAN-KOREA COOPERATION Fund, Goethe-Institut Singapore
and Jakarta, Nanyang Technological University (NTU),and NTU

�Programme Information
Irwan Ahmett and Tita Salina
Activation: Ziarah Utara (Pilgrimage to the North)
Friday, 2 December 2022
2.00 – 7.00pm
Over the last four years, Irwan Ahmett and
Tita Salina have conducted Ziarah Utara
(Pilgrimage to the North) every year in their
city, Jakarta. Initiated together with the
Australian artists and geographers Jorgen
Doyle and Hannah Ekin, this annual walk
aims to build trust and intimacy with people
they encounter along the way, from informal
settlements to gated communities, by way
of visual documentation, trespassing, and
listening to fading stories.
On a physical and sensorial level, Ahmett and
Salina expose their bodies to nature afflicted
by industrial contamination. Population
growth and land conversions, coupled with
massive human activity along the coastline,
have resulted in ecological collapse, land
subsidence, and rising sea levels in Jakarta,
which now faces an uncertain future. This
accumulation of sedimented problems
becomes Ahmett and Salina’s “ground zero”
to elaborate another side of the first capital
in modern world history that plans to escape
due to the climate crisis.
During the conference, Ahmett and Salina
invite participants to be in dialogue with
the fishing community of Kampung Dadap,
Tangerang, to learn about its struggle through
cultural activities that aim to defend its
dignity. While looking at Jakarta from the sea,
participants are called to search for pearls
of hope while critically questioning if the
megalopolis is just an empty shell burdened
with a narrative battle that exacerbates
polarisation?
Irwan Ahmett and Tita Salina (Indonesia)
are an artist duo based in Jakarta. Since
2014, they have been working on a project
in the Ring of Fire – Pacific Rim, a global
region prone to natural disasters as well
as persistent ideological violence. In their
search for answers about planetary anxieties
regarding human existence by means of
evolutionary perspectives, Ahmett and
Salina participate in residency programmes,
research, field study and exhibitions,
especially in specific yet paradoxical areas.
Through their artistic practice, they produce
knowledge in relation to injustice, humanity,
and ecology.
�Martha Atienza and Jake Atienza
Bantayan Island: An Island in Transition
Friday, 2 December 2022
10.40 – 11.00am
In the Visayas region of central Philippines,
the fishing communities of the Bantayan
Islands have, for decades, borne the brunt
of detrimental, government-endorsed
commercial enterprises. Under the guise of
promised economic prosperity, the group of
islands has, in recent years, been increasingly
subject to the interests of the private
sector. From a bill removing Bantayan’s
Wilderness area which made way for the
privatisation of land and the formation of
the North Cebu Economic Zone, to the push
to allow foreigners to have 100% ownership
of assets, a neoliberal agenda continues to
impose coercive ways of dispossession. The
intersectionality of governance, environment,
and community necessitates an art-practice
that tackles these issues through actions and
collaborations.
Martha Atienza’s (Philippines/Netherlands)
practice explores installation and video
as ways of documenting and questioning
issues around the environment, community,
and development. Her work mostly takes
the form of video of an almost sociological
nature, studying her direct environment
in the Philippines. In 2017, Atienza won the
Baloise Art Prize in Art Basel for her seminal
work Our Islands. Since 2017, her work has
been shown and collected worldwide.
Currently, she lives and works in Bantayan
Island, Philippines.
Jake Atienza (Philippines/Netherlands) is
an M.A. student and Graduate Assistant
in the Sociology program at the University
of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. His paternal home
of Bantayan Island in central Philippines
has shaped his interest in islands as social
and physical spaces where exploitation
and dispossession are rampant. This is the
starting point of artistic and scholarly work on
institutional violence, power and the judiciary,
and systems of social and environmental
exploitation, with a particular focus on the
mining industry.
�Lêna Bùi
Keeping the Flow
Thursday, 1 December 2022
5.00 – 5.20am
Bùi will share a meditation on the nature of
all things being in constant exchange with
themselves and with each other.
Lêna Bùi (Vietnam) lives and works in Ho Chi
Minh City, Vietnam. Her practice is deeply
fascinated with intangible aspects of life,
such as faith, death, and dreams, and the
ways in which they influence our behaviours
and perceptions. Incorporating anecdotes
and personal stories, her works articulate
intimate reflections on the impact of rapid
development and the relationship between
humans and nature.
Cian Dayrit
Beyond the God’s Eye: Militant Approaches to Cognitive Maps
Thursday, 1 December 2022
11.40 – 12.00pm
Maps are usually impersonal objects that
conceal the experiences of the people
inhabiting a represented space, yet beneath
the cartographic surface are stories upon
stories of struggle and survival. Influenced
by his position as artist, scholar, and activist,
Dayrit’s presentation outlines his explorations
of cognitive mapping as both a cultural and
political tool to challenge the hegemonic
grids of maps authored by centralised bodies
such as the state or corporations. Working
within the context of counter-mapping, Dayrit
facilitates cognitive mapping workshops with
various subsistence communities, indigenous
and labour groups. In these pedagogical
interventions, geo-narratives are activated to
express precarious conditions and systemic
oppression as well as collective resistance,
whilst producing material that can be further
activated for solidarity campaigns. The maps
produced in these workshops are raw and
intimate articulations of the everyday lives
of populations historically disenfranchised
through the conditions of a neo-colonial
society. Informed by approaches from
humanistic and radical geography and
artistic social practice, the method explores
the ways in which the narratives of individuals
can reflect the shared conditions of their
respective communities. In this light,
cognitive mapping becomes a processbased approach to building solidarity and
collectively articulating shared aspirations.
Cian Dayrit (Philippines) is an artist whose
work investigates notions of space, power
and identity as they are represented and
reproduced in monuments, museums,
maps, and other institutionalized
media. Working with textile, installations,
archival interventions, and community-based
workshops, Dayrit’s work responds to different
marginalised communities, encouraging
a critical reflection on dominant and
privileged perspectives. While informed by
the experience of neo-colonialism from the
perspective of the Philippines, his work defies
being tied to a specific position or location.
Dayrit is a member of Sama-samang Artista
Para sa Kilusang Agraryo (SAKA), an alliance
of cultural workers advocating for land rights
and food sovereignty. He is also currently
enrolled at the Department of Geography in
University of the Philippines Diliman.
�Kathleen Ditzig
Introduction: Can we Visualise Neocolonialism in Southeast Asia?: Solidarities and Cultural
Practices for a Climatic Accountability
Thursday, 1 December 2022
3.00 – 3.20pm
Neocolonialism is a form of colonialism
where states and communities have the
appearance of autonomy but do not
have political or economic independence.
Providing a brief review of the entangled
Cold War legacies of cultural production
and ecological extraction in Southeast Asia,
this introduction emphasizes the urgency of
curatorial practices and cultural practices
to critically consider the region’s enduring
legacy of colonialism while mobilising the
exceptionalism of cultural projects to imagine
a global climate accountability.
Kathleen Ditzig (Singapore) is a researcher
and curator currently pursuing her PhD at
Nanyang Technological University, School
of Art Design and Media. She was a fellow in
the Getty Foundation’s “Connecting Modern
Art Histories in and across Africa, South and
Southeast Asia” project, organised by Cornell
University and Asia Art Archives. Her research

�Hyunjin Kim
Frequencies of Tradition, Frequencies for Sustainable Future
Saturday, 3 December 2022
9.20 – 10.20am
How can tradition be engaged with as a
mode of sustainability? Although negative
perceptions have alienated tradition as
a source of patriarchal, authoritarian,
hierarchical, and outdated customs, tradition
still connects various generations, transmits
values of community, and serves as a
living archive of the future emergence of
cultures. This keynote speech first examines
how traditions are entangled with different
modes of modernisation in the Asian region.
Furthermore, it will address possible wisdom
for sustainability through artistic investigation
and practices derived from or adapted from
tradition, such as community belonging,
resilience, symbiotic life with nature,
spirituality, and de-anthropocentric thinking.
Hyunjin Kim (Korea) is a curator and writer
based in Seoul. Kim was recently the Artistic
Director of Incheon Art Platform 2021 and
the KADIST Lead Curator for Asia, with which
she developed her three-year program and
exhibition, Frequencies of Tradition. She
was also the co-curator of the 7th Gwangju
Biennale (2008), and the Director of Arko
Art Center, Seoul (2014–15). She curated
the exhibition History Has Failed Us, But No
Matter for the Korean Pavilion at the 58th
International Art Exhibition of La Biennale
di Venezia (2019), and co-curated 2 Or 3
Tigers at HKW, Berlin (2017) with Anselm
Franke.

Lessons on Threshold Crossing and Wayfinding alongside Non-Human Collaborators
Saturday, 3 December 2022
10.20 – 10.40am
For this sharing, Muhammad reflects on
the processes and pathways undertaken
in recent selected projects namely <earth,
land, sky and sea as palimpsest>, Dioramas
for Tanjong Rimau, and Breathing in
Unbreathable Circumstances. These works
have emerged from her long-term research
project that engages with environmental
histories, extractive capitalist urbanisation,
and archival fragments in order to redraw
hegemonic cartographies and seek out
a more-than-human, multidimensional
understanding of our place in the world.
Zarina Muhammad (Singapore) is an artist,
educator, and researcher whose practice is
deeply entwined with a critical re-examination
of oral histories, ethnographic literature
and other historiographic accounts of
Southeast Asia. Working at the intersections
of performance, installation, text, sound,
moving image and participatory practice,
she is interested in the broader contexts
of ecocultural identities and interactions,
indigenous ontologies and the cultural
translations within myth-making. Muhammad
has presented her work and been involved
in collaborative research projects across the
Asia Pacific region and Europe.
�Ignatia Nilu
Monumen Antroposen
Thursday, 1 December 2022
3.40 – 4.00pm
Reclaiming the Piyungan Landfill — a site
loaded with deep ancestral knowledge
dating back to the Islamic Mataram Kingdom,
during which it inspired other regions,
villages, and kingdoms with its flourishing
advancements across architecture and
science under the rule of King Sultan Agung
(1613–1645) — Monumen Antroposen is a
radical attempt to present an alternative
ecosystem of the Piyungan area and to
reactivate public awareness of its historical
identity.Designed with temple-shaped
complexes made of plastic “stone” alongside
reliefs narrating holocene-anthropocene
and post-anthropocene scenography ,the
complex is also equipped with a makerspace,
which is intended as an experimental public
laboratory, compiling prototypes from
plastic materials found near landfills. In her
presentation, Nilu expands on Monumen
Antroposen’s desire to transform this area
into a space for activities that allow the
public to participate in a circular materials
economy, s and for the performance of local
culture, not to evoke past religious or ethnic
factionalism, but rather, to demonstrate
how the preservation of cultural knowledge
plays an important role in safeguarding
contemporary thought, allowing us to
maintain human harmony with the natural
surroundings.
Ignatia Nilu (Indonesia) is a writer,
independent curator and cultural producer
based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Through
the lens of her formal studies in political
science, she has worked extensively in
arts management and the curation of
visual, media, and sound art in different
formats. Since 2015, she has been curator
of ARTJOG| International Contemporary Art
Festival,Yogyakarta , and a founding member
of ARTBALI since 2018.Currently, she is working
on Monumen Antroposen with other curators
and the Indonesian Upcycle Forum, to
develop an innovative arts and culture project
through ecology and sustainability insights.
She has a strong concern that the arts should
bring openness to humanity and inclusivity.
She believes that the arts have an important
role to play in questions of inclusivity, and part
of her research has focused on the feminism
movement in Indonesia and art projects that
intersect with STEM-based approaches.

Marian Pastor Roces
The Language Opacities of Climate Change Discourses
Friday, 2 December 2022
9.15 – 10.20am
Roces opens her keynote lecture with
discussion of an ongoing work to create a
museum for cross-cultural understanding
on the island of Basilan – heretofore
synonymous with extreme sectarian violence
in the Philippine south – to explore the opacity
of one language to another in a multilingual
setting. By the word language, Roces does not
refer alone to language qua language spoken
by locals, but to the different languages of
development circles, artists, economists,
historians, anthropologists, and so forth. As
the presentation moves from the Basilan
microcosm to a macro perspective that
encompasses the Coral Triangle, it sketches
out the challenges of translation that must be
met in order to address the climate crisis.
Marian Pastor Roces (Philippines) is an
independent curator, critic, and policy
analyst. She runs a corporation, TAOINC,
which curates the establishment of museums:
notably, 21AM, the online museum of the

museum of the Bangsamoro Autonomous
Region in Muslim Mindanao. She is also a
partner of the sustainable development
think tank, Brain Trust Inc. “Gathering: Political
Writing in Art and Culture,” an anthology of
her writing, was published in 2019.
�Dr. Serina Rahman
Pendekar Laut: Sea Warrior Fishermen Fighting for Survival in the Face of Climate Change
& Coastal Development
Thursday, 1 December 2022
11.00 – 11.20am
In the western corner of the Tebrau Strait
a fishing community is trying to find ways
to survive irreversible socio-economic and
climate changes. They are losing their land
and sea to development and urbanisation
and increased severe weather compounds
decreasing fish stocks, jeopardising their
ability to bring home the catch. A local
community organisation, Kelab Alami,
set up the Sea Warriors Market (Pasar
Pendekar Laut) to ensure better earnings for
the fishermen, more sustainable fisheries
and supplementary means of earning
incomes. This is the story of their effort to
stand up and make the best of what befalls
them.
Dr. Serina Rahman (Malaysia) is a lecturer in
the Southeast Asian Studies Department at
National University of Singapore, teaching
environmental politics, the intersection of
religion with politics and society, and about
Southeast Asia through the lens of the sea.

practice is in community empowerment
through citizen science, community research
and ecotourism, and artisanal marine
fisheries resource management; all of
which is done at Kelab Alami, a community
organisation in Johor, Malaysia that she cofounded in 2008.

experience of witnessing the loss of Tonlé
Sap in 2016, a lake in Northwest Cambodia
connected to the Mekong River. The lake,
which is one of the world’s most vibrant
ecosystems, has been drying up over the
past several years. Exploring the connections
between rivers and memories, Sreymao’s
research on the Mekong led to the creation
of multiple series of works which will be

�Elisa Sutanudjaja
Archiving Resistance
Friday, 2 December 2022
11.20am – 11.40am
Cities are formed and shaped through
various social, economic, political, and
cultural processes. The act of planning, in the
sense of urban planning, is never neutral, and
power relations always matter. For Jakarta,
modern urban planning is a technocratic
process that is also a reproduction of
colonial practices, where active city-making
from underprivileged residents, such as the
urban poor, is considered unnecessary or
undesirable. As a result, underprivileged
habitus are always on the margin. In order
to secure their rights to the city, resistance
became a means to stand up against
plans from above. Archiving Resistance will
highlight several strategies by Jakarta’s
urban poor in Kampung Akuarium in order to
secure residents rights to live and prosper in
capitalist cities like Jakarta.
Elisa Sutanudjaja (Indonesia) is educated
as an architect specialising in sustainable
and urban development. In 2009 she cofounded the Rujak Center for Urban Studies,
an NGO focused on urban and knowledge
issues. Currently serving as RCUS’s Executive
Director, her concerns are on urban studies
and urbanism, the right to adequate housing,
informal economy, and mobility. Sutanudjaja
was an Eisenhower Fellow in 2013.
Hương Vũ
Resettlement in Vietnam: Policies and Social Impact Assessment
Thursday, 1 December 2022
4.00 – 4.20pm
Involuntary resettlement is one of many
challenges imposed by the extractive
sector, particularly balancing the competing
interests and responsibilities of governments,
companies and affected local communities.
Unfortunately, resettlement projects are
established with so many competing interests
that inhabitants are involuntarily relocated
to sites where living conditions are poor and
there is little infrastructure. The displaced
are often from minority ethnic communities,
whose customary land rights do not appear
to be considered under the Vietnamese
government’s Land Use Policy and its
associated documents. The rehabilitation and
resettlement statements are often prepared
only after the project investment has already
received approval from the Provincial
People’s Committee, resulting in limited
engagement and agency for inhabitants. No
social impact assessment is considered.
Hương Vũ (Vietnam/Germany), studied at
the Technical University of Berlin. Together
with her partner, sheruns the architecture
studio ‘vn-a’, basedbetween Berlin, Germany
and Da Lat, Vietnam. In 2016 they won the
second prize at the international Awards for
Sacred Architecture VI Edition, Fondazione
Frate Sole, Pavia, Italy and the Hans
Schäfers Prize, BDA Berlin. In 2017, vn-a was
appointed a full member of the BDA, Bund
Deutscher Architekten, Landesverband
Berlin (Association of German Architects).
�Dr. Chomwan Weeraworawit
Indigo as Livelihood
Thursday, 1 December 2022
12.00 – 12.20pm
The natural blue dye indigo grows abundantly
in the Northeast of Thailand, and it was
the journey to find that blue that connects
Weeraworawit’s research to the ways in
which traditional knowledge can be used
to forge a different path of development.
Weeraworawit’s research and practice is
guided by the belief that we are all capable
of making and creating in harmony with the
land, and that this knowledge is crucial in
the face of the climate crisis and decline of
biodiversity. Learning ancient know-how from
artisans is a means of telling their stories,
sharing in the processes and creations made
through collaboration.
Dr. Chomwan Weeraworawit (Thailand) has
worked with artists for over 15 years. With a
PhD from King’s College London in intellectual
property, she uses her training to work with
artists, filmmakers, architects, and designers.

creative studio that creates and produces
projects. In 2016, she co-founded Philip Huang,

KONNECT ASEAN
As the post-Cold War reality of a new world has taken shape and formed new directions and
conversations, ASEAN has re-entered the contemporary art space via collaborative efforts between
various ASEAN bodies. The Republic of Korea celebrated 30 years of diplomatic relations with
ASEAN in 2019 and in the same year established KONNECT ASEAN, an ASEAN-Korea arts programme.
Supported by the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF) and administered by the ASEAN
Foundation, KONNECT ASEAN signals both an eagerness by ASEAN to revitalise its once integral role
in contemporary visual arts and South Korea’s sincerity in establishing closer ties with ASEAN.
The programme celebrates Southeast Asian arts using different platforms (exhibitions, education
and conferences, public programmes, residencies, and publications and archives) to explore and
discuss social, political, economic, and environmental issues in the region. The artists’ works and
activities engages and strengthen the public’s understanding of ASEAN’s role in facilitating cultural
diplomacy. Furthermore, the programme intends to connect with the three major stakeholder
groups of government, business, and civil society to achieve the vision of an ASEAN Community.
Outcomes provide permanent resources recording why ASEAN matters and its ongoing
contribution to the region’s growth, prosperity, and stability.
