Our Board Of Directors

Our Founder, Mohamed Shahril Bin Mohamed Salleh (Dr.) is a social scientist who researches the cultural formation in Singapore with a focus on how agency is imagined and enacted within the confines of the state. He is passionate about advocating for cultural workers in their artistic practice and their personal and professional development. Much of his work concerns itself with championing community music-making, and to find ways to use choral music and the performing arts as a means to create spaces for communities to come together to better understand religious and cultural differences in Singapore.
