Experiencing a slice of life: Artist’s Block by ArtWave | ArtsEquator Thinking and Talking about Arts and Culture in Southeast Asia ArtsEquator Viewpoints Zinkie Aw March 1, 2022 By Noorul Raaha As’art (830 words, 3-minute read) Waterloo Street is a smorgasbord of sensory experiences, from Hindu and Buddhist temples coexisting side by side, to old uncles and aunties hawking religious paraphernalia, shaded by their New Moon abalone umbrellas, and stalls offering acupuncture services, amongst other things. The energy generated by the residents and visitors of the street overflow into the nearby Stamford Arts Centre, itself a historic building — it’s housed a number of schools since the 1920s — that today is home to various traditional arts groups in Singapore. This vibrant nexus was where I found myself last weekend, on a preview of Artist’s Block , an audio-guided trail by ArtWave, organised by Arts House Limited.
