groyn88 Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) https://www.chope.co/singapore-restaurants/pages/proud-spaces PROUD SPACES Saturday • 7 July 2018 • 10am - 3pm WeWork Beach Centre 15 Beach Road, Level 2 Workspaces where inclusivity is the norm. We are ready For welcoming workplaces For accepting colleagues For supportive policies For freedom and safety For inclusivity to be the norm Chope is ready. Are you? Chope is delighted to organise Singapore's first ever inclusivity-first career fair! Showcasing a myriad of like-minded companies committed to safe, inclusive spaces where any every individual feels welcome regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. Part of an already amazing PinkFest lineup, this is Proud Spaces. Who Will Be There Chope, 99.co, Airbnb, amc, Bloomberg, Bollywood Veggies, Circles.Life, E's Fitness, Glints, Great Eastern, MindFi, Salesforce, Superunion, The Lo & Behold Group, Wantedly. It is not mandatory to RSVP and entry is free, but you will need to register at the door in order to enter the event space. Location WeWork Beach Centre, Level 2 15 Beach Road, Singapore 189677 Getting There By Bus 7, 32, 51, 56, 57, 61, 63, 80, 100, 107, 145, 175, 197, 851, 961, 980 By Train City Hall, Esplanade FAQS Wait, I stil don't get it - wht is Proud Spaces? Proud Spaces is a career fair meant to showcase companies ready for a more inclusive Singapore! Come join us and find out what companies are doing to signal that inclusivity is important to them. So, is Proud Spaces part of Pink Dot? Nope! Proud Spaces is an event independently organised by Chope to further discussions on inclusivity and diversity while celebrating Pink Dot's tenth edition. Is entry free? Yup, Proud Spaces is completely free! Can foreigners visit? Yes. Because this isn't a Pink Dot event, everyone, including foreigners are welcome. But I'm straight. Will I still be welcome at the event? Definitely. I'm not currently looking for a job. Can I still attend? Yes of course! Come find out about these companies regardless, and if you're already at a company open to being more inclusive, you could come away with ideas for new policies. Should I come prepared with resumes? Is it possible I will get hired at Proud Spaces? Most companies will be referring applicants to online hiring portals, but attendees are of course free to bring resumes. It's unlikely to get hired at Proud Spaces, but you might score an interview. Should I dress up in business wear? Only if you want to! Proud Spaces is meant to be a casual, carnival-like setting for you to get to know companies, and companies to get to know you. If you're most comfortable in business wear, then feel free. But if you're more the chic-cash sort, that'll work too. Will there be media on the day itself? There'll definitely be coverage, though we're currently unable to confirm if there'll be mainstream media present on the day. What if I want to attend but don't want to be in any photos or videos? We'll be providing stickers on the day for attendees to highlight that they don't want to be in pictures or videos. Is Proud Spaces going to happen every year? We're hoping it will, but that really depends on the response this year! What should I do if I face discriminatory behaviour at the event? We'll do our best to prevent that from happening, but if it does happen, please approach any Chope team member (we'll be wearing Chope t-shirts) on the day and let us know so we can act on it! How do I RSVP? There's no need to RSVP, though you will need to register at the door in order to enter the event space (event sponsor requirements). Feel free to bring your name card to speed up the process! Do you have any social media hashtags? #ChopeIsReady #ProudSpaces2018 #PinkFest Edited June 29, 2018 by groyn88 riverrobles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She spent six years in television as producer and anchor of a weekly segment on books for Singapore-based television network Channel NewsAsia’s breakfast show, Prime Time Morning.

During that time, she developed and shaped the newspaper's extensive coverage of the visual arts, museums, and introduced coverage for India's widely popular Hindi film industry better known as Bollywood.

On the literary front, she has moderated at key literary festivals in various cities in Australia as well as in Dubai, Galle, Ubud and Singapore. Launched in 2013, her popular Facebook page, Sadee (Our) Saree, has galvanised a new generation’s interest in the saree. In 2014, she published her debut novel The Red Helmet – a story of love and loss set in 1980s India. The book was marketed largely through social media. She has done media training sessions and currently works in Public Relations. She is a regular moderator and emcee at various diplomatic events held in Singapore. ------------------------------------------------------------ Here are some recent events she has moderated and emceed at: - Finland's Final 100 year celebration.

groyn88 Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) https://www.facebook.com/events/157387894954394/ How Peculiar Is Our Writing Hosted by BooksActually Friday, 6 July 2018, Friday 7.30 p.m. - 9.00 p.m. BooksActually 9 Yong Siak Street, Singapore 168645 ABOUT THE EVENT: What does it mean to have your voice and story heard within and outside of the LGBTQ+ community and why is it so important especially for people like us? This panel discusses the importance of queer literature and writing with authors Cyril Wong and Tania De Rozario as well as other storytellers such as spoken word poet Gabbi Wenyi Ayane and Sean Foo of Dear Straight People. The panel will be moderated by Ian Chung. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS: Cyril Wong Cyril Wong has been called a confessional poet, according to The Oxford Companion to Modern Poetry, based on “the brutally candid sexuality in his poetry, along with a barely submerged anxiety over the fragility of human connection and a relentless self-querying”. He is the Singapore Literature Prize-winning author of poetry collections such as Unmarked Treasure, Tilting Our Plates to Catch the Light, The Dictator’s Eyebrow, After You and The Lover’s Inventory. He has also published Ten Things My Father Never Taught Me and Other Stories and a novel, The Last Lesson of Mrs de Souza. Cyril has served as a mentor under the Creative Arts Programme and the Mentor Access Project, as well as a judge for the Golden Point Awards in Singapore. Tania De Rozario Tania De Rozario is the author of Tender Delirium (Math Paper Press, 2013), which was shortlisted for the 2014 Singapore Literature Prize and was the winner of the 2011 NAC-SPH Golden Point Award for English Poetry. She is an Associate Artist with The Substation, Singapore's oldest independent arts centre, and runs EtiquetteSG, a multidisciplinary platform focused on developing and showcasing art, writing, film and music made by women. Her poetry and fiction have been published in various journals and anthologies, and she has written extensively about art. Sean Foo Sean Foo is the founder of Dear Straight People; Singapore's leading LGBTQ platform that boasts over 13,000 highly engaged Facebook followers. Known for his ability in crafting socially conscious stories with viral potential, Sean is best known for his Out Of The Closet series; a series of feature stories that aims to tell the stories of openly queer Asians in all of their complexity. To date, his work has been featured on other media platforms ranging from mainstream publications such as Mothership and The Asian Parent to international publications such as Gay Star News and Queerty. Gabbi Wenyi Ayane Gabbi Wenyi Ayane makes zines, poetry and art. She founded and is organising Queer Zinefest SG, Singapore's first platform dedicated to independent publishers within the LGBTQIA+ community. She also co-organises destination:INK. Gabbi participated in her first poetry slam in April 2018 (WordForward The Hookup Poetry Slam) and came in first place. She has created a zine of page poetry (Brain Vomit) and a zine of spoken word (Here Are Nine Poems I've Yelled Into A Microphone). She printed her first zine in 2017 (A Super-Quick, Kinda Polite Guide to Chinese Privilege in Singapore). Gabbi's non-fiction writing has been published in The Huffington Post, The Local Rebel and The Tab. ABOUT THE MODERATOR: Ian Chung Ian Chung graduated from the Warwick Writing Programme. His work has appeared in Axon: Creative Explorations, Cha: An Asian Literary Journal, QLRS, The Cadaverine, and various Math Paper Press anthologies, among others. He edits Eunoia Review.
