PROJECT LIONHEART: CELEBRATING THE SINGAPORE SPIRIT THAT HAS SHONE THROUGH A PANDEMIC
2022-11-03 10:00 - 2022-11-09 15:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Chong Pang City Atrium, Yishun Ave 5 , Singapore 760101, Singapore, 760101, Singapore
Project Lionheart seeks to highlight and champion five core qualities – Hope, Duty, Compassion, Invention and Strength, that have shone through the pandemic. The initiative aims to collect stories of poignant lived experiences from the ground and share them with the community as sources of inspiration through art installations, wall murals, music & theatre performances, and short films by more than 30 local artists, muralists, filmmakers and musicians.
Continuing the momentum from its successful launch at Ang Mo Kio, and subsequent exhibitions at hospitals and community spaces such as Tan Tock Seng Hospital and the void decks at Joo Chiat Road, the roving exhibition is on the move yet again, this time heading to Chong Pang City Atrium from 3 to 9 November.
Celebrating the spirit of enterprise, problem solving and innovation, Project Lionheart wishes to acknowledge businesses who creatively pivoted or translated their products and services as well as people who invented solutions for the benefit of society in the midst of a crisis.
To celebrate innovation during times of crisis, Lee Wei Lieh (Wei) from Very Small Exhibition, a collective that creates interactive and meaningful public art, will build towers made with cardboard and PVC tubes which will sit within a one-way mirror tempered glass cube inserted into a pedestal. The playful setup is reminiscent of a “sandbox” environment where innovation is given free rein., and the infinite reflections within the lighted cube represent boundless ingenuity in spite of our country’s diminutive size as a city state.
Beyond the art installation, the Project Lionheart exhibition will feature up to 20 community stories that have displayed the spirit of Hope, Invention, Compassion, Duty and Strength through individuals’ actions, efforts, and deeds during one of the most challenging periods for our nation.
Visitors will also be treated to musical performances by local artists NyaLi, Weish and Wheelsmith on Saturday, 5 Nov.

Southeast Asian artist collective An.other Asian will launch The Lost and The Remained in October, exploring the rich diversity of Southeast Asian cultures to bring new perspectives to Koppel Project Hive in London.

Following the success of their first exhibition in April, An.other Asian will work with 13 artists from Southeast Asian backgrounds to encourage a greater understanding of the region, unpacking the link between culture and physical objects.

The Lost and The Remained will showcase illustrations, films, installations, and performances and will culminate with artist talks and workshops.

Duong Thuy Nguyen, co-founder of An.Other Asian, said: “Through our latest exhibition, the An.Other Asian artist collective wanted to tackle tired Southeast Asina tropes head-on by reframing and re-examining our heritage, and championing fresh perspectives.

“By working with a strong roster of London’s artists like KV Duong, Carina Santos, Aliansyah Caniago and Monica Hapsari, we’re able to present Southeast Asian talent to London’s art markets.”

Haxhijakupi, Communications Manager of the Koppel Project, said: “ We are excited to host this exhibition and to collaborate with An.Other Asian collective and the selected artists. The Hive is a hotspot for emerging talent and The Koppel Project’s longest running site housing some of our most exciting community members.”

Notes to the editor

An.Other Asian is an artist-led collective founded by artists from various Southeast Asian countries living, studying, and working in London.
Seeing the lack of safe spaces for Southeast Asian artists to foster and present ideas within London, as it is in this context that AOA is born and in which its impact will come to be understood. Knowledge exchange, connection and highlighting Southeast Asia art and culture are key to exploring how and where our collective might consolidate some of these opportunistic, transients of creativity to shape the future of our cultural sector in a more profound way.
The Lost and The Remained is funded by Mekong Cultural Hub as a part of their Meeting Point 2022, and supported by The Koppel Project.

Inner Reflections
2022-10-27 15:00 - 2022-11-25 20:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | *SCAPE, 2 Orchard Link #02-14, Singapore, Singapore, 237978, Singapore
INNER REFLECTIONS reflects the hidden potential of someone with diverse abilities.
How we see them (or how society makes them to be seen) does not truly represent their true capabilities! Each individual is capable of much more. And with adequate patience and guidance, they are able to reach their potential!
In Inner Reflections, Maya Dance Theatre team up with our community initiative, Diverse Abilities Dance Collective (DADC). Though gifted with Down Syndrome, the dancers from DADC possess individual abilities, talents, compassion, affection and goals just like all of us. Some of the DADC dancers are pre-school dance trainers, administrative assistants, wardrobe mistresses and even mentors for other diversely abled dancers!
They build their own dreams through the foundations we created!

The Lost and The Remained exhibition
2022-10-27 - 2022-10-30
Southeast Asian artist collective An.other Asian (AOA) will launch The Lost and The Remained in October, exploring the rich diversity of Southeast Asian cultures to bring a new perspective to Koppel Project Hive in London.

Following the success of their first exhibition in April, The Lost and The Remained works with 13 artists from Southeast Asian backgrounds to encourage a greater understanding of the region by interrogating the link between culture and physical objects.

The Lost and The Remained will take place 27th – 30th October at The Koppel Project Hive on 26 Holborn Viaduct, London. The Koppel Project (est. 2016) is an arts charity, gallery, and creative hub based in central London with aim to support early and mid-career artists.

Approaching non-aligned histories and geographies, The Lost and The Remained questions how heritage is constructed and developed through exchanges and collaborations.

Work from Southeast Asian nations the artists looks at themes like the notion of heritage calls to mind multiple facets of one’s history: it can refer to a physical object or space, or an inherited culture, behaviour, or way of living. The role creative practice plays in discovering one’s roots through entangled memories, friendships, families, and diasporic identities.

The exhibition will showcase works ranging from illustrations, films, installations, and performances as well as culminate with several events such as artist talks and workshops.

The private opening night will be held on the 27th of October from 6 pm – 9 pm. Complimentary tickets can be found here

Duong Thuy Nguyen, co-founder of An.Other Asian, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be launching our 2nd exhibition with such a strong roster of London’s Southeast Asian artist talent. It is an honour to have such established names as KV Duong, Carina Santos, Aliansyah Caniago and Monica Hapsari taking centre stage at our exhibition.

“Studying at Centre Saint Martin’s offered me the chance to meet like-minded Southeast Asian art students. I came together with Rianti to create An.Other Asian with the hope of building a strong community. While our project may have just started out, it’s inspiring to see such a strong collection of artists already joining us.”

Haxhijakupi, Communications Manager of the Koppel Project, said: “ We are excited to host this exhibition and to collaborate with An.Other Asian collective and the selected artists. The Hive is a hotspot for emerging talent and The Koppel Project’s longest running site housing some of our most exciting community members.”

ENCATC, the leading European network on cultural management and policy, will have its 2022 Congress on the topic of “Internationalisation in focus: theoretical, strategic and management perspectives in education, research, policy and practices” on 17-19 October in Brussels and Antwerp.
The ENCATC Congress is the only global event dedicated to the advancement of theory, education, research and practice on cultural management and policy. Each year, it gathers academics, trainers and researchers from the cultural management and policy educational fields with cross-disciplinary interests, cultural professionals, policy makers, artists, and students.
The post-pandemic global landscape offers new opportunities and challenges to the cultural sector. Internationalization and digitization give us novel ways to build communities, to create and share knowledge, and to decolonize and diversify cultural management and policy. At the same time, our increasingly complex world demands that we develop innovative approaches to engagement, collaboration and communication in the realm of culture and creativity.
The 2022 ENCATC Congress aims to:

Reflect on 30 years of networking in Europe and beyond, while looking to the future of the sector in an increasingly complex world.
Consider innovative ways in which cultural networks build communities of knowledge and practice.
Develop cultural networks’ strategies to become more environmentally sustainable, inclusive, and equitable.
Imagine new possibilities for knowledge sharing and relationship building through international ‘networks of networks’

Following the successful editions of the past years, the 2022 edition of the Congress will be once more structured on an action-packed programme including keynotes, interactive debates, presentations, panel discussions, group sessions, and networking. It will also include the ENCATC Research Award Ceremony and the Young and Emerging Researchers Forum, one of major ENCATC contributions to the European Year of Youth 2022.

The Covid-19 pandemic has been one of the biggest crises to hit our shores but it has also shown us the best of the Singapore spirit. We Are Majulah, a social movement that focuses on community and identity building initiatives, hopes to celebrate the Singapore Spirit that has helped us navigate through the pandemic and will continue to move the nation forward with a ground-up initiative, Project Lionheart.

Project Lionheart seeks to highlight and champion five core qualities – Hope, Duty, Compassion, Invention and Strength, that have shone through the pandemic. The initiative aims to collect stories of poignant lived experiences from the ground and share them with the community as sources of inspiration through art installations, wall murals, music & theatre performances, and short films by more than 30 local artists, muralists, filmmakers and musicians.

Additionally, in partnership with Project Lionheart, The Majurity Trust has pledged $100,000 to the SG Strong Fund to support ground-up initiatives in Singapore. The public is encouraged to share their own incredible stories with Project Lionheart which will hopefully inspire more ground-up initiatives supported by the SG Strong Fund.

Project Lionheart had a successful exhibition launch at Ang Mo Kio where the public got to see Lee Wei Lieh (Wei) from Very Small Exhibition, a collective that creates interactive and meaningful public art, transform his famous LOVE light art sculpture into HOPE, while lit in rainbow colours.

The next stop will see the roving exhibition head to Tan Tock Seng Hospital from 17 to 21 October. This time, Project Lionheart is honoring frontline workers who have exemplified grit, sacrifice and determination alongside many others who continued to serve their duties to keep our country’s core functions moving.

To bring to life the spirit of ‘DUTY’, Wei will be unveiling his second art installation, a chandelier of iridescent face masks with lights shining through from above.

Beyond the art installation, the Project Lionheart exhibition will feature up to 20 community stories that have displayed the spirit of Hope, Invention, Compassion, Duty and Strength through individuals’ actions, efforts, and deeds during one of the most challenging periods for our nation.

Visitors will also be treated to musical performances by local artists NyaLi, Weish and Wheelsmith on 19 and 20 Oct.

3 Masterpieces by 3 Czech Composers in One Show
The evening begins with Suk’s nationalistic Czech piece, Meditation on the Old Czech Chorale “Saint Wenceslas” Op.35a. Suk, who studied under Dvorak, is the turn-of-the-century composer, and one of the leading composers in Czech Modernism. Stunning, contemplative as well as emotional and nostalgic, the four-part polyphonic work was written in 1914 in World War I in a time when the Czechs hoped to gain independence from the Austrian Empire, of which they were part of. The composer wanted to ignite the Czech nationalist movement, while the old Bohemian chorale on which it was based on honours Svatý Vaclav (St. Wenceslas), the patron Saint of Bohemia.
The second piece, The String Quartet in F Major, Op.96 “American”, by composer Antonin Dvořák is a well-loved one. This work is very much idiomatic of his Czech roots but he combined the best of Czech folk tunes with New World spirituals and drum rhythms. It’s one of the most popular works in the string quartet repertory. Dvořák’s ‘American’ and Haas’ quartets are also featured on T’ang’s critically-acclaimed albums The Art of War and Made in America albums.
Post intermission, the Quartet turns their attention to the third piece – Pavel Haas String Quartet No. 2 “From the Monkey Mountains”. This piece was chosen in our programme as it is considered to be one of Haas’ first high points of his oeuvre. The Czech-Jewish composer, who was greatly influenced by his teacher Leo Janácek, combined the neo-classicist techniques of Igor Stravinsky with a very personal adaptation of jazz elements as well as the melodic and harmonic features Czech folk music and Jewish synagogue music.

The curatorial theme of i Light Singapore 2023, “A New Wave” 🌊, calls for innovative light art installations that encompass associations with the colour blue – the limitless potential of technology to create novel experiences beyond the physical, and the synergy between nature and technology.
We want to hear your bold, ambitious, thought-provoking ideas and concepts!
