About it

What does it mean to write about home with honesty and care? In this panel, Teo You Yenn and Liang Hong discuss the responsibility that writers undertake when they tell the stories of others’ lives amid societal changes. Drawing on sociology and literary non-fiction, they explore the power of narrative accounts, how personal stories reflect their hopes and worries at different points in history, and what it means to bear witness without spectacle.

This programme is in Mandarin and English, with live simultaneous interpretation to both languages available. Festivalgoers are encouraged to bring their own earphones for the best listening experience.
