Aesop Women’s Library at Vivo City (Aesop photo)

Following International Women’s Day in March, Aesop continues to elevate women’s voices and stories—no matter the date or occasion. In this spirit, and to foster strength and solidarity among all women, Aesop presents its inaugural Women’s Library, arriving in two Singapore signature stores on 20—24 April 2022.

Over the course of five days, the shelves of Aesop VivoCity and Aesop Marina Bay Sands will be cleared of product and filled entirely with books by predominantly South East Asian authors who identify as women and allies. The selection—composed of recommendations from four collaborating publishing houses who champion local literary voices—is sprawling in genre and spirit: from emerging voices to seasoned authors, and short stories to novels and poetry. The featured writers include Pooja Nansi, Melissa De Silva, Amanda Chong, Stephanie Chan, and Annaliza Bakri.

The ephemeral library will allow customers visiting the stores to select a complimentary book of their choice—with no purchase required. To support local independent publishers and booksellers in Singapore, Aesop has purchased over 50 titles from Math Paper Press, Epigram, Ethos Books and Sea Breeze Books.

As a soundtrack of sorts to the Women’s Library, an audio collage will be broadcast in the two signature stores and available to listen to online. An extension of Aesop’s global Sounds of sisterhood initiative—a soundscape created to coincide with International Women’s Day, featuring recorded messages from colleagues and collaborators—the mix will bring together the voices of Asian women and allies, sharing stories of affection, wisdom and the multifaceted nature of womanhood. For this iteration of Sounds of sisterhood, Aesop is collaborating with Singaporean artist Weish, whose own music incorporates layers of live loops, vocals and experimental instrumentation.

EU Dairy and Fruits & Vegetables Round Table: Helping Singaporeans explore Europe with every bite.

This special round table is for food professionals and media and features guest speakers sharing their knowledge and experience of working with a diverse range of EU dairy, fruits and vegetable products.

Taking a deep dive into traditional production methods and origin stories, including PDO and PGI labels, participants will get to experience first-hand what makes EU dairy, fruits and vegetables stand out for customers in Singapore when it comes to quality, safety authenticity and sustainability.

Singapore is the EU’s largest trading partner in the Southeast Asian region, with a total bilateral trade in goods and services of over €90 billion in 2020. EU agri-fo od exports to Singapore represented 7.2% of total merchandise exports and amounted to almost €2 billion in 2021. Singaporean consumers are becoming more familiar with European dairy, fruits and vegetable products since the entry into force of the EU-Singapore Free Trade Agreement in November 2019 and are now paying closer attention to where their food comes from.

EU representative Mr. Jean-Pierre De Meerleer Sánchez will join Mr. Antoine Zaruba, founder of gourmet cheese store ‘The Cheese House’ who will share his experience of turning a passion for European cheese into a business. Mr. Jean-Philippe Joye, Retail and Bistro Operations Manager at Culina Pte Ltd will give insights into the many benefits of adding EU fruits and vegetables to your portfolio for customers in Singapore.

Popular local Chef Teo Yeow Siang of Three Embers restaurant Singapore will demonstrate the various ways in which you can use dairy, fruits and vegetable products from the EU, by whipping up delicious creations with these ingredients. Chef Teo’s illustrious culinary experience includes being Team Captain at the 2016 Culinary Olympics in Germany, which earned Singapore two gold medals.

Under its ‘More than Food’ campaign, the EU is leading the way in promoting outstanding European agricultural products to Singaporean businesses and consumers.

Drawing on the Veneto-born ritual of pairing Aperol Spritz with traditional snacks, the guided Aperitivo experience is intended to showcase the drink’s versatility with different foods. Held across two Saturdays, ticket holders will get to pick their preferred locales for a journey of three restaurants where each is programmed with a selection of snacks in a myriad of cuisine styles that pair perfectly between refreshing sips.
