NUS Centre for the Arts 30th anniversary

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of NUS Centre For the Arts, 'Not Only Lines' is a poetry project inspired by the late Arthur Yap’s poem only lines published in the collection of the same name in 1971. The poem, in Yap’s characteristic cryptic tone, reminds us how words and lines can be endlessly configured to reveal new meanings. Similarly, Not Only Lines will feature poems from 30 NUS alumni who are prominent literary figures in Singapore, displayed at transitory spaces around NUS, and compiled as a digital anthology to offer whimsical opportunities for playful engagement.

Curated by Paul Tan, poet and former Festival Director of Singapore Writers Festival, this collection of writings celebrates the timeless power of words to create spaces of reflection and connection.

The artworks all over the NUS campus will be available for viewing until 2024
