FEATURED PERFORMING ARTISTS
ROY TAN (host)
Tan is a healthcare professional passionately interested in documenting local LGBT history. Tan started all the Singapore LGBT-related articles in Wikipedia in 2005 and ported every article removed by deletionists to SgWiki. He has also recorded and amassed the most comprehensive collection of local LGBT videos onYouTube. Tan intended to organise Singapore's first gay pride parade at Hong Lim Park in 2008 after the government legalised protests there. This later morphed intoPink Dot SG, an event which supported the "freedom of LGBT people to love" and which later spread worldwide. Together with fellow citizen Tien Kim Chuan, Tan marched in Singapore's first and only gay Chingay contingent when the public were allowed to form their own marching group in 2010.

Nabilah H., sometimes, works under the name ‘quillbomb’. She goes through pseudonyms like she goes through bottles of salsa cheese. Nabilah has been writing since she knew what the act of writing
involved (a pen and a paper, and enough muscle control). Her poetry often covers topics like creation, social change, liquid, feminism, one-way relationships, attempts at love, movement, self-actualisation, internal debates with the wankers that live in her head, living in arepressive city-state and caffeine. She likes words like ‘coup de grâce’. She has recently gotten over her fear of public speaking and started performing her poetry to audiences that are not imagined. She has read at Poetry Unplugged (London), Sage & Time (London) and various Poetry Slam events in Singapore, and runs a spoken-word open-mic (destination: INK) with her visual-textual collective, spacer.gif.She is somewhere in the middle of a venn diagram that attempts to combine art and activism as a co-conspirator of MonkeyMask.
Nabilah’s mother believes she might wither away as a hobo carving words on scaffolding if she keeps up this ‘art stuff’. She likes cats and tea biscuits. Nabilah, that is - not her mother.
