INDIGNATION 2008: FROM CLASSROOM TO COMICS (check out the page)

It's our very own Otto!!! So how can you not be there?!! e'nuff said!

Otto Fong was a highly regarded Science teacher in Raffles Institution. This year, he just published the first in a series of comic books about Science.

In this event, he shares his experience of coming out to the nation as a gay teacher, how the controversy impacted his life, and how it gave him courage to pursue his lifelong dream of being a fulltime comic artist.

INDIGNATION 2008: 同不同2–異族 (check out the page)

It's our very own Otto again!!! Limelight whore! (hee hee... kidding, you know we love you!)

This year, we are bringing back a classic which explores gay issues in Singapore Chinese theatre. Performed in 1992, Another Tribe was written by Otto Fong and is the first local Chinese play to explore gay issues. The original cast, Jackie Liu and Kevin How will be reading for their own roles from over 10 years ago. Together with Otto Fong and the director Kok Heng Leun, they will be present to share with the audience their experiences and thoughts while embarking on such a taboo topic at that time. Renowned writer and playwright Quah Sy Ren will also be on the panel to comment on the play as critic and audience.

Performed in Mandarin.

Or that’s what they say.

We say UPP YOURS!

Join us as we paint the Botanic Gardens pink once again! Come in pink, bring a pink picnic mat, or even bring a pink feather boa! Most important, it’s a picnic, so bring food!
