Invitiation to Participate in the MI Unconference

Musica Intimae: Intersections - Call for Unconference Participants!

We would cordially like to invite you to participate in the Unconference segment of the “Musica Intimae: Intersections” Festival. The  “Musica Intimae: Intersections” Festival is a culmination of a year-long ethnographic research work that focuses on the lives of bi-ethnic and bi-religious couples living in Singapore. The festival consists of an exhibition with an accompanying audio guide, a arts based performance that engages the themes coming out of the research, and the unconference.

 This unconference brings together community activators, academics, cultural workers and interested members of the publics to come and learn from each other how to navigate the reality of a more plural society, especially in light of the number of bi-ethnic and bi-religious couples living in Singapore. During this unconference, we will be using a series of structured activities and conversations to put together a toolkit that can be used by ourselves, our friends, family, and the wider community for the purposes of supporting couples and families from various ethnic and religious intersections.

 The details of the event are as follows:

Day/Date: Saturday, 29th of November 2025
