Islands Time-Based Art Festival

Islands Time-Based Art (ITBA) is an artist-initiated multidisciplinary platform for live presentations and art practices that are transitory in nature.

The ITBA Festival, initiated by Kai Lam and anGie Seah, will present a showcase of artists who stretch across three generations, art disciplines and cultural perspectives. It will encompass new media interdisciplinary art forms such as sound art, performance art and live improvisations to gather a wider community and develop new interests in contemporary art practices. ITBA believes in cultivating spontaneity and creative instincts through time-based fluid art forms. “Islands” as a creative platform here represents diversity and connecting clusters of ideas and varied art practices.

Besides ‘live’ presentations, the festival will also bring together art workers, cultural writers and curators for pertinent discussions about resilience, performance art, well-being, artistic processes and more.
