Praxis Press: Thirteenth Edition 2019
Dear Readers
Welcome to a new edition of Praxis Press, and we are officially 13 years old!
This year being the 13th year, we welcome new challenges and surprises with open arms. This is the first year that Praxis Press has brought on a team of student editors to run the newsletter! The experience has been a true eyeopener as Fine Arts students tend to take the backseat on administrative matters. Praxis Press has taken on a bold stance to welcoming new writing styles to give voice to prospective writing talents in our school.
In this issue, besides featuring exhibitions by current students and lecturers, we also direct our focus to alumni who have gone on to accomplish admirable feats in their respective fields. This has helped to show student readers the many possibilities that await them after graduation. Furthermore, we covered a huge spectrum of work across the faculties in hopes that it will inspire students who wish to pursue further education in the Arts sector.
We are very grateful to our teacher mentors, Dr Wang Ruobing and Zarina Muhammad, who were the previous editors for the newsletter. They have provided much-needed insights and guidance for our journey. Their mentorship has made it easier to take on this daunting task as student editors. Their discipline and work ethic has greatly influenced the way we execute our roles and structured our year-long project.
We hope you enjoy the read; do let us know what you would like to see in the 14th edition!
