Both Sides, Now (BSN) is ArtsWok Collaborative’s flagship programme. It aims to develop spaces that encourage end-of-life conversations through arts practices and creative approaches. We do this by working with and equipping individuals, families, and communities to explore, express, and enact what living well and leaving well might mean to them.
To date, over 28,500 audience members and participants have experienced BSN, with more than 500 volunteers and facilitators over the past decade.
Formerly co-presented with Drama Box (2013-2022), BSN has evolved through various editions with different place-based and cultural communities. It was first commissioned by the Lien Foundation and the Ang Chin Moh Foundation, who continued their support till 2019.
In 2023, we took full rein of the programme, deepening our community engagement and adopting community development approaches to working with communities. To reflect these changes, we redesigned the website to showcase Both Sides, Now’s impactful projects over the past decade. Hear from the communities we worked with and learn from their stories. Access our repository of resources to begin your own personal journey of living well and leaving well.
If you appreciate the work we do, contribute to spark conversations that matter.
