Sumugan SIVANESAN’s primary interest bridges migrant histories, minority politics, activist media, artist infrastructures and “more-than-human rights.” Since 2020, Sumugan has been developing fugitive radio (2020 - present), an artistic-research project that pursues live and collectively-realised modes of performance or participatory radio using free and open source tools.

While in residence, Sumugan proposes to assemble an edition of Minorities Botschaft, a counter-hegemonic study group centred on a series of plant-based meals, discussions, experimental exercises and excursions. Minorities Botschaft creates a space for sociability and is a means to collaboratively identify, and playfully negotiate social, ecological and economic vulnerabilities in Singapore.
