Alhamdulillah, the year 2011 is blessed with constructive movement for Darul Arqam and the Muslim community, although as part of a global society, we continue to face the challenges of international events that influence our lives and thoughts daily. With the intention to elevate our collective efforts in resonating harmony from the light of Islam, Darul Arqam has focused to enhance programmes that foster the goodwill amongst Muslims. As we bring up the awareness on Islam, the International Da’wah Conference 2011 was a key endeavour that brought activists of Islam from various countries together to share experiences about the progress in their communities. The sharing and the exchange were blessed opportunities for the participants, the speakers, and Darul Arqam as organisers, to seek the wisdom in the trials faced and the achievements produced by Muslims, no matter where they live and no matter how small their community is. In our unique Singaporean context, Darul Arqam continues to strive towards providing a comfortable, respectful, and friendly platform for learners of Islam, from those who begin their journey of Islam to those wishing to pursue deeper understanding of the aspects in the religion. The courses, workshops, seminars and lectures that were brought to the fore in 2011 have brought together subjects of interest that were relevant to audiences from many different walks of life. Insha’Allah, the spread of programmes for our knowledge building will grow for the better as we plan events for 2012. Our concerns, besides for the educational development of the community, are also guided towards the social and welfare support of the Muslims that deserve assistance for their growth. Either for the new Muslims who wish to meet other Converts to Islam or the Muslims who seek to improve their living conditions, Darul Arqam, with its support network of members, volunteers, and donors, strives to put forward the most resourceful programmes and assistance to suit their needs. As Darul Arqam steps forward to fulfil the responsibility of the Association, with the trust that we value and the confidence we receive from our supporters, Insha’Allah, we shall continue to contribute positively and help the building of a wholesome unit of community with harmony and peace at its core and spirit.

A Note from the Editor… In this third issue, be inspired by our pupils’ abundant energy and enthusiasm for life and learning as you read about how they embraced exciting, new adventures both on the home front and overseas. Our pupils proudly represented Singapore and the school as ambassadors, in their many interactions with people from other schools and countries, while on school trips, learning journeys, co-curricular activities and competitions. High-spirited, they fervently supported their houses during Sports and Games Day while humbly demonstrating admirable sportsmanship. They sang in one voice, songs of love and loyalty for the country as they celebrated Singapore’s bicentennial together. Our Canossians sons and daughters truly did themselves, their families, their school and their nation proud by showing a deep sense of rootedness and loyalty!

    World, the Interdisciplinary Arts and the Community: an Interview with the Artistic Director of the Substation – a Home for the Arts

    The ‘Real’ World, the Interdisciplinary Arts and the Community: An Interview with the Artistic Director of The Substation – A Home for the Arts Noor Effendy Ibrahim, interviewed by C. J. W.-L. Wee What would you say are the present central goals of the historically first independent Singapore art centre, The Substation – A Home for the Arts? I have been Artistic Director of The Substation since February 2010. The key goal is clear: to continue and develop the legacy of this centre1 through artistic strategies and methods that are sensitive to and aware of the current and immediate cultural, political and economic contexts that exist. The Substation aims to provide a rigorous and safe space for the development and research into art practices that have a primarily interdisciplinary orientation – in short, the aim is to be a venue where dialogues occur and artistic curation and creation can transpire. It is apparent, though, that the physical infrastructure of The Substation is ageing, and that sufficient funding is also another key concern. So, a major issue is the re-thinking of how to make the available resources within The Substation itself good enough such that challenging artwork is possible, and so that the imagination of the larger arts community – the larger public, government agencies and possible funders – can be fired up to comprehend our commitment to interdisciplinary arts creation at The Substation, whatever the limitations and constraints of the moment. A particular challenge that we are face today lies in the education, the nurturing and the sustaining of critically informed and engaged audiences who will not be fearful of the artistic experimentation and exploration that form the backbone of interdisciplinary practice.
