NTU statement in response to Today Online’s Article Published on 2 October 2023

As part of its 10th anniversary celebration, the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore (NTU CCA Singapore) commissioned five performances to bring together its past Artists-in-Residence and other stakeholders over several days. 

On 29 Sep, there were two performances. During one of the performances, Queer-Tai, one performer was on stage in drag attire. Given the sensitivities associated with the said performance, it should not have been staged as a public event. 

As a higher education institution, the University maintains its policies and position to reflect widely accepted social norms and practices in Singapore. NTU will review its internal processes after this incident.
