2013-2015
Shubigi was awarded the Creation Grant for 2013 by the National Arts Council, Singapore, for her project PULP: A Short Biography of the Banished Book.
‘Pulp’ is part of a long-term project, an attempt to bridge languages/histories/cultures and civilisations in a globalised world where homogenisation and imposed ideas of conformity have led to their disappearance. Concentrating on libraries and the accessibility, archiving and destruction of knowledge, the project will work with select global institutions that have been the targets of acts of destruction, desecration or censorship.
The outcome will be a tongue-in-cheek biography of books, their meaning and resonance for people here and in select global sites that have significance in humanity’s shared cultural history, and will culminate in a film, a publication and a visual arts installation.
She will post updates about the project as it progresses below
