Produced by the National Arts Council, this is a commemorative book celebrating the vibrancy and diversity of the arts in Singapore in the New Millennium. Coinciding with the tenth anniversary of the National Arts Council itself, 'Selves' is also a celebration of the NAC's decade of work as a national agency promoting the arts. Critical essays and theoretical arguments make this essential reading for anyone interested in Singapore's art and cultural scene.
