Alternative Ecology: The Community

Held at the outdoor communal courtyard area of Objectifs, Alternative Ecology: The Community is an art and ecology event consisting of a sculptural social space made from bamboo by artist/architect Eko Prawoto (Indonesia) and the Bamboo Broadcast Studio, a series of public programmes organised by Post-Museum (Singapore). 

Local community groups, professionals, and artists with interest in sustainability, nature and ecology are invited to take part in different activities, panel talks, booths and symposiums, rallying communities and the public for awareness, fun and participation. Programmes include the Renew Earth Sweat Shop Workshop, a Stone Soup Party, Eco-Karaoke night, Eco-Singles Night, Water & Sustainability Symposiums, and the Singapore Really Really Free Market, etc. 

Alternative Ecology offers creative interpretations of the profound environmental challenges that we face today, and, at the same time, explores the parallel role of an artist in acting as a catalyst for fostering community collaboration and promoting awareness through creative interpretations and discussions.
