Jeremy Fernando at the NUS Arts Festival 2017

On 22 March 2017, as part of the Centre for the Art’s NUS Arts Festival 2017, Jeremy Fernando performed a talk, ‘On Interventions — or, space is only noise if you can see, which attempted to meditate on the notion of interventions, on the relationship between the one who intervenes and the site, peoples, spaces, sounds, of the intervention.

The performance, which was held at the NUS Museum, was moderated by Yanyun Chen from Yale-NUS College; and is dedicated to all the students who have taken the ‘Singapore as “Model” City?’ senior seminar over the years: without their intelligence, creativity, and warmth — alongside their wonderful intervention projects — none of this would have been possible.
