Ipoh will get to experience an explosion of Singapore arts and culture this August when Singapore’s premier cross-border platform, CausewayEXchange (CEX) 2017 takes more than 30 Singapore artists to perform in selected venues in the city’s Old Town area.
Ipoh-ites will get to see a drama unfold in three shophouses in Old Town, hear Singapore’s prize writer in dialogue with Ipoh writers in the well known social enterprise 22 Hale Street and see Singapore doodlers work with their Ipoh counterparts, PORT (People of Remarkable Talents) on the walls of Old Town shop houses.
First held in 2010 and until today, the only annual platform for artistic and cultural activities between Singapore and Malaysia, CEX has to date attracted 35,000 audiences and hosted close to 350 artists in both Singapore and Malaysia. CEX is co-organised by Singapore arts production company DMR Productions and non-profit arts and culture organization Global Cultural Alliance Ltd (GCA).
