Tiger Conversation

Date/Time | 1st October, 2.00pm

Speaker | Peter Ong, writer and wildlife photographer

Peter Ong's passion for wildlife and the environment led him on a career of wildlife photography and environmental advocacy. He subsequently launched Project Monyet in 2019 to photograph and document all of Malaysia’s 26 primate species, many of which are endangered and data deficient. His photography and advocacy work has since led him to develop other projects to promote economic empowerment of local communities living with or next to the jungles to encourage them to become better stewards of the environment as well as to spread awareness of the incredible biodiversity and natural wealth of Malaysia and South-East Asia. He is currently heading a project entitled “Wang Kelian, Perlis - The Forgotten Valley” to record the biodiversity and cultural heritage of one of the most biodiverse areas of Semenanjung Malaysia.

新書分享會 | 私密書寫之「我」

寫作是抒發，亦是思索。三位馬來西亞新生代作者的文字，以個人出發，書寫屬於這個年齡的身體探索與情感紀事。

新書簡介：
《我吞下一顆發燙的黑曜石》| 梁馨元
《我吞下一顆發燙的黑曜石》是寂靜的長喃。幾近諧和的聲音冷泉般地迴蕩不休，此方起彼又落，再三挑戰讀者的耐性。馨元下放抒情於日常於幽光於微物，或我城或田野或廢墟或長滿水銀的島，乃至更廣袤的無人煙地。她放肆地不斷召喚超越本土的萬物，囂張地企圖將天地間有形與無形位置于詩的名詞的各個角落，最終形成抒情至極的吊詭共音——「淡／耽」的美學萬處抒情萬處現。然而，二為一，一亦是二，二還是一——反觀自照的不是早已吞下的黑曜石，而是被黑曜石吞下的發燙的「我」。
──馬華詩人 鄭田靖 推薦
《深夜拾荒手記》 | 陳凱宇
把你渴望的青春膠原蛋白給你，把我尋索的愛與溫暖給我，如此溫柔地掠取所需，不見得實在獲得什麼，但一無所獲也絕對不是。我們都是被棄之物，也是彼此的拾荒者，為了換取自己想換取的，那麼不知廉恥地要，那麼毫無保留地給，善良與寂寞時實時虛，卻如此相像。
「不惜代價地求真，畢竟有其危險，而以身犯險，似乎是凱宇的深層寫作動機。」
——〈拾荒者的散文裝置術〉 ◎董啟章
《我們在房裡看A片》 | 胡玖洲
「我」整天躲在「房間」裡，從事不可告人的神秘事業。如果說父親是律法般的存在，則詩既是一股逸離或抗辯的力量，也是默默討拍的願望。我（半島生民，詩人，男性）湧動氣血，讓世界與身體展開激烈的爭吵，催出朵朵猛綻的詩意。這樣的行為以自足的篇章為結果，拒絕多餘的「解釋」。——為了避開尷尬，詩人假稱他是在房裡看 A 片。——事實上，他正在解釋，以詩的方式（通過隱喻、暗示與敘述），向讀者。啊，原來「向父親說謊」（而非看A 片）是袒露自我的另類手段，能夠逼人使出語言文字的絕技。
——唐捐

《洞》新書分享會 | 吳爾芙有一間自己的房間，而我——

「三十二歲的六月，我搬入人生第一所房子。」作者以三十后的獨居生活出發，透過獨居女子的視角，窺探人生的多重樣貌。
什麽是人生的標準模樣？

讓我們一起帶著疑問，和兩位講者暢聊生活的可能性。
