What is the nature of a family memory? What do family histories conceal and how are family myths constructed?

 

How is literature crafted from an unraveling of these? In this Ilham Conversation programme series entitled, Bloodlines - Poetry, Memory & The Family Album,  writer Eddin Khoo shares photographs from his family album and explain the methods of use and will discuss the curious nature of memory and autobiography.

 

Khoo is also a poet, journalist, translator and teacher. He is also founder-director of Pusaka, an entity devoted to cultural pursuits.
