Fireside Chat with maNUScript: From Course to Campus Art

Join us for an intimate fireside chat on maNUScript, an interactive visual installation at NUS Central Library! Born from a student proposal in the NM3245 Managing Arts and Cultural Events course, maNUScript has evolved into a space for conversations on identity, collective self-expression and campus revitalisation.

At this session, hear from the students, faculty, and partner—including NUS Libraries, NUS Department of Communications and New Media, and NUS Office of Student Affairs—who brought this project to life. Discover the organic development of maNUScript, the collaborative process, and how arts can shape meaningful experiences on campus.

This event is organised by our staff, Han Ming Guang.
