Synopsis:

This exhibition features a 21st century spin on William Blake's classic poem Auguries of Innocence. In keeping with Blake's legacy as a poet, painter and sometime prophet, eight graphic and comic illustrators— Dan Wong, Jerry Teo, Neo Ann Gee, Chen Yan Yun, Brenna Tan, Caleb Tan, Russell Ong, Wu Yanrong, Arthur De Laforcade and Kari Kaiju—have come together with poet Marc Nair to write and illustrate a modern version that depicts the world in all its dystopian glory.

Artist Talk: 17 Mar, Sat | 4pm – 5.30pm
Join poet Marc Nair and artists Dan Wong, Neo Ann Gee and Caleb Tan as they discuss modern innocence and the collaborative process in the making of the exhibition and the book.

(Walk-ins are welcomed, subject to available space)
