Beyond the Desk: Residencies, Workshops, and Expanding Your Writing Life
7:30pm - 9pm | Singapore Book Council Training Room
Writers Lab
Panellists will explore how to navigate the landscape of writing opportunities available to Singapore writers, how to assess what's right for you at different stages of your career, and how to make the most of what these experiences expose you to, long after you've returned home.
Words & Wellbeing: Mental Health, and the Stories We Need
2pm – 3:30pm | Singapore Book Council Training Room
Writers Lab
The session aims to open up dialogue beyond clinical settings, using storytelling and lived experience to examine how literature can serve as a space for reflection, empathy, and healing — for both those who write and those who read.
Bad Diaspora Poems: A Conversation with Momtaza Mehri & Pooja Nansi
7:30pm – 9pm | Singapore Book Council Training Room
Writers Lab
In this Fireside Chat, poet and essayist Momtaza Mehri joins moderator Pooja Nansi for an intimate conversation on displacement, humour, and "uneasy delight." Together, they explore how joy and irony can coexist with historical fracture, how borders and passports shape the stories we're allowed to tell, and how the digital age reshapes our sense of home.
The conversation also ventures into Momtaza's craft — navigating research-heavy creative projects, storytelling as inheritance, and moving fluidly across timelines, generations, languages, and forms. Following a brief reading, the session opens up to audience Q&A, inviting emerging and established writers alike into the dialogue.
