Singapore Unbound is a NYC-based literary non-profit that promotes Freedom of Expression and Equal Rights for All through cultural exchange between Singapore, Asia, and the USA. We organize innovative and diverse programs, publish Asian voices, and provide alternative platforms for writers to speak their minds. We aim to be independent, innovative, and inspiring.
We organize the biennial
Singapore Literature Festival in NYC and the monthly
Second Saturdays Reading Series, featuring important Singaporean and American writers of our time. We publish poetry, fiction, essays, book reviews, and artist interviews in our journal of Asian writing and art
SUSPECT. Our press
Gaudy Boy brings authors of Asian heritage to an American and Southeast Asian audience.
To present our programs, we have partnered with Asia Society New York, Asian American Writers’ Workshop, Book Culture, The Brooklyn Rail, Carcanet Press, Ethos Books, The Evergreen Review, National Translation Month, New York University, and Words Without Borders. We are always looking for opportunities for collaboration.
All your donations go towards paying authors, artists, and book reviewers, and for the presentation of their work. Our events are run by volunteers and free to the public. Singapore Unbound is wholly funded by private individuals who are passionate about the arts.
