YPAW 38: The University of the Arts

You Play A What?

This is yet another rant, and today it is regarding the recent announcement pertaining to the formation of the first ever Singapore university of the arts. In this episode, I am not discussing what sort of curriculum will benefit the students because I feel like at this point in my life I am still figuring this out.

What I would address in this episode is how we react to negativity that surrounds our work, such as internet trolls, people with conflicting ideologies to you, people who do not understand what is it that you do and why you do what you do. Having a new university centred around the arts is fantastic, but it is important for students to not treat this university as a career centre for arts. That if you enrolled into the school you are guaranteed to get a job and be successful.
