Synopsis:
Presented by Future Cities Laboratory and NUS Museum, 17 Volcanoes is shaped around a series of expeditions from Singapore to Java that track the itinerary of Explorer Franz Junghuhn to 17 of his favourite volcanoes. The expeditions are made by a small group of artists, scholars and professionals operating within the fields of humanities, science, urbanism and architecture, passing through densely populated areas and volcanic areas, questioning the traditional opposition between the urban and the land.
