I’m very happy and deeply grateful to receive the Distinguished Patron of the Arts Award 2026 from the National Arts Council Singapore.
The Patron of the Arts Award recognises individuals and organisations who have made significant contributions to the development of the arts. This year, I am honoured that the award acknowledges my work in the preservation of digital artistic practices and the development of new approaches to cultural stewardship in Southeast Asia.
Thank you to the National Arts Council Singapore, and to all the artists, collaborators, and institutions who have been part of this journey. This recognition is an encouragement to continue exploring how we can care for, preserve, and make accessible the digital cultural practices of our time.

Roja Muthiah Research Library (#rmrlchennai) and @onemai_fdn are inaugurating the RMRL TAMIL FONT STUDIO on 28th Feb 2024 for Tamil type design, calligraphy, and typography. Tamil Font Studio will focus on developing fonts/ typefaces scientifically and setting gold standards in Tamil font making. We will be producing a range of fonts both from the archives and freshly created ones.
We are organising an International Seminar on the 29th Feb 2024. Experts in the field of typography from Malaysia, Sri Lanka and India will present their technical know-how.
I am particularly excited about the possibilities working with a digitally native object like fonts offer from a blockchain perspective, including reimagining the management, documentation and archiving of the font making process and the distribution and accessibility of the fonts themselves.
This international seminar will address current needs, issues in Tamil fonts faced by type designers and educators. This includes presentations by invited keynote speakers, eminent academicians, industry professionals, and research scholars.
