Two year ago, on 11 March, 2011, a powerful earthquake of magnitude-9 shook Japan and unleashed a devastating tsunami, causing massive destruction.

Up till today, the people affected are still picking up the pieces.

In Singapore, many of us have never encountered a large-scale natural disaster; it is not easy to understand or imagine what the people of Japan are going through.

As part of GO-FAR (Going Overseas For Advanced Reporting) — a journalism programme run by the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information (WKWSCI) — a team of 13 students went to Japan to learn more about the aftermath and to interview the residents.

And they have collaborated with NTU Libraries to jointly organise this exhibition, held from:

  • 7 – 26 October 2013 at the Communication & Information Library, and
  • 11 – 29 November 2013 at the Lee Wee Nam Library

 

Go-Far 2013 (Ishinomaki, Japan)

 

In conjunction with this exhibition, there is also a special Book Display of related titles.
