Changing Places: Drama Box and the Politics of Space explores how the Singapore-based theatre company, Drama Box, engages with the evolving dynamics of space and place to create impactful, socially-conscious art. The book delves into how the company uses theatre to address the political, cultural, and social transformations of urban spaces in Singapore. It highlights Drama Box's commitment to fostering community dialogue and reflection through site-specific performances and participatory art.

The design and layout of the book are conceptually aligned with its subject matter. Drawing inspiration from the idea of "negative spaces," the book's visual presentation mirrors the metaphorical and physical voids explored by Drama Box in their work. This design choice reflects the importance of spaces—both literal and conceptual—in shaping narratives, identities, and community connections, tying back to the symbolic "box" in the company's name. Through this lens, the book examines the intersection of art, activism, and urban transformation.
