// About the Exhibition
The exhibition isolates the museum, the media, and mass education as key instruments that mediate institutional methods of remembering, and ponders upon how we consume and negotiate the national narrative in relation to our personal memories of 9 August 1965. Deployed within a classroom setting, artists Joel Yuen, Teow Yue Han and Tse Hao Guang takes as their departure point archival traces of 9 August 1965 presented to them by the curators to explore how that moment of separation recurs in contemporary (re)imaginations. Curated by:

// Curating Lab 2012
The exhibition is the concluding phase of Curating Lab 2012, a six-month curatorial programme jointly organized by National Arts Council (NAC) and NUS Museum.
