About the Climate Transformation Gathering series

Extended from the Climate Transformation Sustainable Societies Lecture Series, the Climate Transformation Gatherings consolidates critical concepts and ideas around various environmental themes and theories. These gatherings take various formats including open-discussion seminars, reading groups, workshops and guided tours to engage interested members of the public on various environmental issues.

Gathering: Making as a Sensory-led Investigation

Tuesday, 16 December 2025 · 6:30 - 8:00 PM

During this gathering, Liz Liu, Research Assistant, will share about her practice as a colour maker working with plants and soil found in Singapore. The session will begin with a brief sharing of the colours she has documented as part of the local botanical inkmaking studio Wild Dot. Participants will then be invited to take part in a simple noticing exercise, exploring the soil around Gillman Barracks through the making of soil paints. We hope to explore how our sensorial understanding of soil can be broadened through this process.
