Residencies AiRCAST Episode #17: Irfan Kasban

In this episode, we invited curator Syaheedah Iskandar to explore the multidimensional practice of Artist-in-Residence Irfan Kasban. This conversation marks a full-circle moment for the two as they first collaborated for Hutang Belantara, a public programme at NTU CCA Singapore back in 2016 when Syaheedah was Curatorial Assistant with us at the Centre. The two trace through Irfan’s background that has seen him wear varying hats, weaving through theatre and sound, and addressing what drew to the arts. Irfan also opens up about the significance of curiosity in guiding his working process that is largely collaborative, open, and ever-evolving. He also shares about the various communal activities he held in the studio that he has affectionately called Port of Reciprocity, also the title of his long-term research project.
