Singapore

Taking the form of a book, film, and paper maze, Shubigi Rao’s exhibition Pulp III: A Short Biography of the Banished Book explores the persistence of endangered languages, the futures of public and alternative libraries, and the cosmopolitanism of regional communities that have blossomed and waned in historic centres of print and trade, including Venice and Singapore. The five thousand copies of Pulp Vol. III collected by La Biennale visitors will find their way across the world, germinating small libraries to resist erasure and circumvent geopolitical and cultural divides.
