About this Event

We’ve been craving a space to speak about matters of the mind, body, spirit, and our communities - hence, we are having 'Under One Atap', a space for creatives and community members to convene.

At every gathering, we will discuss a topic close to our hearts (and sometimes our tummies), where we learn from the community to share and create together - bringing in artists, cooks, practitioners to stir the pot.

For our first session on “ The Mind”, we are bringing artists, advocates, and experts to tackle and grapple with our mental health experiences collectively - and make sense of our individual, yet shared experiences.

Programme:
Community Art Exhibit: Artists on our Mind
Conversations with Artists, Advocates and Experts
Make Sense & Make Stuff
We hope to create an inclusive and inspiring space for everyone :)

About our Programmes:
3pm
We are bringing together a Community Art Exhibit: Artists on our Mind - where artists of differing mediums present a landscape of works - physicalising the landscape of mental health experiences in their own expression. Come into the space - and enter the mind of our Artist line-up!

Featured Artists: SENSOL.AP, Alecia Neo, Pixin, starvingfish, Aneesa, Mrazziepie, and more!

3.30pm

Conversations with Artists, Advocates and Experts
We gather together to unpack mental health from varying perspectives, articulating and navigating mental health challenges of youth in Singapore.

Details will be released soon - Stay tuned!

4.45pm

Make Sense & Make Stuff: Make little friends to accompany you on your journey, with our communal discourse and craft-making activity!

We will be having a Walkthrough of Community Art Exhibit - interacting with various Artists works and drawing meaning from our own retrospection.

*Each session will also feature snacks from home-based businesses :)

Join us for a lovely afternoon - to reset and recalibrate our minds.

See you Aliwal Arts Centre on the 30th November, 3pm for our 1st session of Under One Atap!

What is "Under One Atap" ?

A spin-off of Atap Assembly, ‘Under One Atap’ is a series of youth-focused community events aimed at bringing lightness, warmth, and a space for us to dissect the noise together, navigating conversations that may otherwise never be surfaced.

With each gathering, we are creating a participatory experience - to centre arts, community, and culture. No matter if you are a salaryman or an oddball - we hope to break apart the walls between us, and to house everyone - under one roof.

Make stuff, make meaning, make friends - Under our Atap!
- With love, The Black Sampan Team
