(Un)directed Reading

These days, we rarely find youth engaged in reading or writing books. Yet, the joy in these activities is inevitable. When first exposed to reading, the new reader may find themself drawn into new worlds of excitement, amazement, emotion, philosophy, and adventure.

This compilation of short stories includes work written by students from different degree programmes at the University of Saint Joseph (USJ), Macao, China, in 2021. Students involved in this project include students from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities’ Bachelor of Architectural Studies, Bachelor of Communication and Media, Bachelor of Design and Bachelor of Fashion Design.

“(Un)directed Reading” is also an installation designed to randomly generate extracts from the selected work edited below. It aims to get the general public and interested individuals to come to the front of the kiosk and be surprised.
