SUMMARY:Batik Nyonyas: Three Generations of Art and Entrepreneurship
DESCRIPTION:11 October 2024 to 31 August 2025 \nDaily\, 10am–7pm | Fridays\, 10am–9pm \nPeranakan Museum \n$6 for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents; $18 for Foreigners \nFamily\, art\, and entrepreneurship converge in the story of three visionary Peranakan women from Indonesia – Nyonya Oeij Soen King\, her daughter-in-law Nyonya Oeij Kok Sing\, and her granddaughter Jane Hendromartono. From the 1890s to 1980s\, they produced impressive batiks in the renowned batik centre of Pekalongan on Java’s north coast. \nFeaturing about 200 batik textiles and accompanying objects\, Batik Nyonyas: Three Generations of Art and Entrepreneurship examines the lives and careers of these Peranakan women through their works. With batik as a portrait of society\, the exhibition reveals the influence of the Oeij family women as they became batik masters in their own right\, as they ingeniously responded to the rapid political\, cultural and economic changes of their time to run a business that produced great art. Visitors are invited to draw links to the development and evolution of Indonesian batik through a Peranakan perspective\, and to participate in hands-on workshops\, performances and tours. The exhibition will also feature a contemporary art commission by Aiko Tezuka\, an artist specialised in producing art based on the unravelling of woven fabric.

SUMMARY:WHO IS WEAVING THE SKY NET?
DESCRIPTION:“Who is Weaving the Sky Net?” brings together eight artists who explore textile\, fabric\, and weaving as metaphors to question the construction of our universe and existence. The title\, borrowed from an essay on science and philosophy by physician Nguyen Tuong Bach\, draws on the delicate interplay between quantum physics and Buddhist thought. In his reflection\, Nguyen unearths profound yet simple truths: we\, as human beings\, weave the fabric of our realities much like a sky net—often unaware of our role as creators. Entangled in the intricate webs of our own making\, we forget we are their architects\, lost in the stories we script and perform.\n\nThe reference to “Lưới trời Đế Thích” (Indra’s Net) deepens this philosophical inquiry. As a symbol of the interconnectedness of all things\, Indra’s Net suggests that each part mirrors and influences the whole\, revealing the boundless complexity of existence. This eternal question of reality versus illusion—like the dream-like play we both create and inhabit—remains unanswered\, lingering as an open meditation.\n\nThe artists of “Who is Weaving the Sky Net?” weave their narratives and materials with a shared grace\, drawing connections between fabric and life’s delicate interconnectedness. Through distinct approaches and methods\, they engage this age-old inquiry: Doan Van Toi’s work\, rooted in Buddhist philosophy\, resonates with a peaceful acceptance of life\, while Leila Seyedzadeh’s pieces are imbued with poetic reflections on homeland. These threads of existence are delicately explored through each artist’s unique lens\, unraveling the many ways we craft\, question\, and live within the worlds we weave.\n\nParticipating Artists: Dinh Thi Tham Poong\, Doan Van Toi\, Leila Seyedzadeh\, Keith Khanh Truong\, Lai Thi Dieu Ha\, Tra My Nguyen\, Woo Hannah\, Tran Thao Mien.

SUMMARY:The Return of Raja Durian
DESCRIPTION:Penang is a durian kingdom. A rich\, storied connection with the fruit has made the island one of the centers of durian cultivation in Malaysia\, if not the world. At the heart of this durian empire is a family-run conglomerate\, Durian King.  FAMEME\, heir to this empire\, has led a fabulously colourful\, nomadic life abroad as an entrepreneur and entertainer. He finally returned to the land of his birth in 2017\, rejoining the family business. \n“ The Return of Raja Durian” marks FAMEME’s homecoming\, and an introduction to a figure otherwise little-known in Penang. The exhibition presents a collection of objects and documents that reveals the vicissitudes of his personal history\, and his creative transformation of his family’s durian business. Artist and filmmaker Yu Cheng-Ta has produced a new documentary about FAMEME’s life\, screening for the first time in this exhibition. The film offers an intimate look at his life\, told through the gaze of a Taiwanese director. It delves behind his signature oversized sunglasses to trace the history of the Chinese immigrant community in Penang\, and details FAMEME’s relationships with his family and struggles with self-identity\, as he carves out his own durian empire.

SUMMARY:2024 Asian Art Biennial Announces the Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:Organised by National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (NTMoFA)\, the Asian Art Biennial has opened on 16 November 2024 and will be on display until 2 March 2025. Co-curated by Fang Yen Hsiang (Taiwan)\, Anne Davidian (Armenia)\, Merv Espina (the Philippines)\, Haeju Kim (South Korea)\, and Asli Seven (Turkey)\, the Biennial will feature works from 35 local and international artists under the title of “How to Hold Your Breath”\, inviting viewers to take a deep breath and hold their breath while imagining a new future.\nThe title of the 2024 Asian Art Biennial\, “How to Hold Your Breath\,” evokes the act of voluntarily pausing a vital function\, creating a state of anticipation. A twist on the saying “don’t hold your breath\,” a warning not to expect change soon\, is inverted here to suggest latent hope.\nTaking a deep breath and holding it anchors us in the present moment. As the world unravels into new sublevels of rock bottom\, we continue to migrate and navigate through the din and dust\, between place and displacement in this late capitalist fallout. This act of calming the breath and setting the mind prepares for transitioning from one reality to another\, in a movement of transformation. It is an interval\, to listen to the inaudible and retune with the metabolic rhythms of our bodies and the planet.\nThrough a variety of media\, the artworks presented in the Biennial challenge progressive and universal notions of time\, revealing instead how histories are tied to people\, places\, and positions.\nMarwa Arsanios\, an artist and researcher based between Beirut and Berlin\, introduces a new chapter of her multifaceted project Who is Afraid of Ideology\, examining entrenched ownership ideologies and proposing non-expropriative practices related to natural resources\, agriculture\, housing\, and knowledge. For the Taiwan edition\, the project collaborates with curator Tsai Ming-Jiun\, artists and writers Wu Ke-Wei and Tsai Yu-Jou (Kuanntian Studio)\, and farmers from Tainan to convene reading sessions and a public conversation during the Biennial’s opening. This program invites audiences to dismantle possessive imaginaries and explore alternative ways of living harmoniously with nature. The exhibition features a film documenting the transformation of private land in Lebanon into common plot\, alongside textiles and drawings\, connecting these struggles to a broader historical perspective. Displayed in Taichung as city banners\, the Chart for the Usership of the Land\, offers a poetic protocol for new forms of communal property.\nYoshinori Niwa’s practice intervenes in public spaces to unravel societal conditions and create new horizons by pushing economic and ideological systems to absurdity. Among artist’s earlier works\, two new commissions have been produced in Taichung specifically for the Biennial. In Purchasing a Rice Ball at Convenience Stores for 24 Hours\, Niwa repeatedly buys the same rice ball he already owns\, questioning ideas of ownership and wealth. Requesting People in Taiwan Who I Met by Chance to Declare if They Die\, Taiwan Will Disappear revisits a past project where individuals proclaimed identification with their nation. Niwa revives this in Taichung\, questioning whether a country is defined by its people or geopolitical status.\nThe Unseen Presence is a recent series by Milay Mavaliw\, conveyed through woven installations that explore the connections between family and tribe\, transcending time and space. Inspired by the ritual blessings and prayers her Puyuma shaman grandmother performed before Milay embarked on her journeys\, these became a spiritual force that accompanies her\, anchoring her to her tribe. In her works\, organic lines and forms interweave and propagate throughout the space as a manifestation of energy. Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in the present moment\, in a space where collective forces are summoned.\nHwayeon Nam’s film 2 loosely follows the traces of two women\, Choi Seung-Hee (1911–1969) and Tsai Jui-Yueh (1921–2005)\, two pioneers of modern dance in Korea and Taiwan\, respectively. Beyond their artistic achievements\, the lives of these two women\, separated by a decade\, also reflect the trajectory of modern and contemporary Asian history\, marked by colonialism and Cold War ideology. In this film\, two narrators\, two historical figures\, two actors\, two cities\, and two houses are arranged in a disjointed yet interconnected manner.\nIn 2019\, Julia Sariesetiati and her collaborators proposed a platform named “PulangPergi”\, designed to share experiences between migrant workers. East Java is a major source of migrant workers in sectors like childcare\, elder care\, and domestic assistance. During her visit to PERTAKINA Indonesia\, Julia also visited Tulungagung and Kediri\, collaborating with former migrant workers to document everyday vocabulary and instructions used in their jobs. This documentation aims to bridge the gap between pre-departure language training and real-world work experience.\nWorking across diverse media—including large fabric paintings\, cartoon drawings\, and animations—Woosung Lee captures memories both distant and intimate. This exhibition presents a blend of earlier works alongside new paintings created after his 2024 visit to Taiwan. It features scenes and figures from Korean cities like Seoul and Gwangju\, alongside observations from Taipei and Taichung. By spotlighting individual characters and simultaneously emphasizing collective solidarity\, Lee emphasizes both personal identity and communal strength.\nThe Biennial will launch a series of public programs starting from its opening on 16 November\, including artist talks\, collective conversations\, experimental performances\, participation workshops\, guided tours\, screening programs.\nThe first exciting event will be Andrius Arutiunian’s Armen\, a speculative investigation of diasporic histories drawing from the artist’s collection of Armenian music. Reminiscent of Yerevan taxis blasting local pop\, it is published on an audio cassette and experienced during car rides in Taichung throughout the Biennial’s opening day.\nSharon Chin will present a participatory performance Portal on the opening night. This performance invites audiences to light oil lamps made from alcohol bottles discarded on an eroded beach in the artist’s town. Originally conceived as a celebration of two mangrove trees growing on the beach\, it is now a memorial\, as the trees were uprooted due to extreme weather just a few months before. We face transformations – ecological\, social\, political – on an unprecedented\, species-level scale. This work invokes the spirit of a place for insight on the inner transformations required for us to collectively weather this change.\n“How Breath Moves\,” the screening program of the 2024 Asian Art Biennial\, imagines breath as a collective cinematic device\, a shared source of life and rhythm\, moving across our bodies to technologies of light and projection\, through life\, death\, and rebirth\, to explore the production\, translation\, and circulation of images\, sounds\, memory\, and collective storytelling. Through a range of artistic strategies – including documentary essay\, performance video\, and animation – the eight films in this program provide critical historical contexts that enrich understanding of the exhibition’s core concerns. Pallavi Paul’s How Love Moves unpacks the intimate connection between breath\, soil\, and the hope and sorrow embodied in a gravekeeper’s daily life in India. The short animated film A Turtle in Ten Seconds by Rojda Tugrul\, which narrates the history of dammed rivers in Mesopotamia through the voice of an extinct river turtle and cyclical movements\, offering a poignant reflection on ecological loss and the stories water can tell.\nFor the latest event information\, please visit asianartbiennial.ntmofa.gov.tw or follow the Asian Art Biennial on Facebook and Instagram.\nAbout Asian Art Biennial\nBeing one of the most representative art biennials in Asia\, the Asian Art Biennial is an important bi-annual exhibition hosted by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts.

SUMMARY:Open Call for Shorts - RawGround 25/26
DESCRIPTION:In our 6th edition\, RAW Moves is pleased to open our annual call for local and international artists to submit proposals for the next edition of RawGround (RG) 2025/26\, which will be running in February 2026*. \nPresented by RAW Moves in Singapore\, RawGround is designed to present a curated mini film showcase that fosters dialogue and broadens our perception of social norms. The short films\, created by artists and practitioners from various disciplines\, each reframe the aesthetics of the everyday through the lens of the individual. We welcome unorthodox\, conceptual works of narratives that redefine movement. \nApplicants are invited to conceptualise and create two new original short films~\, responding to this edition’s theme of “(Un)finished Work: In pursuit of the work of pretending”. \n\nThe Theme \nThe first of RAW Moves’ three-year exploration of “(Un)finished Work: In pursuit of ______” themes\, we delve into the paradigm of “pretending”: \n\n\n\n\nIn the work of “pretending”\, we explore the labour of balancing appearances and reality. As we externalise the self to connect with others\, we find these efforts can come at costs to ourselves. Going inward\, what are the personas we believe we need to uphold? Going forward\, what do we now shed – or shield – of ourselves? \n\n\n\n\nThe Process \nSelected artist-collaborators will be offered artist fees from RAW Moves for the conceptualisation and creation of the two films\, each ranging between 5 to 10 minute duration. In the staggered ten weeks creative process (From April 2025)\, each artist will be collaborating and supported by our Artistic Director and Resident Dramaturg to deliver two films. In addition to financial support\, appointed artist-collaborators will be able to develop their portfolio\, articulate ideas and enrich their creative processes through engaging diverse perspectives. This cultural exchange opportunity also offers visibility and chances to connect and interact with arts professionals and audiences from around the world. \n\n\n\n\nThe Presentation (3-days) \n\nFilm Screening Premiere\, Singapore\nThe final vignette of films will be launched at a physical screening session in Singapore^ in February 2026*\, which will include post-show dialogues at the end of the screening.\nArtists-led Workshops\, Singapore\nEach artist is required to host a 15 to 20 pax in-person workshop (1 – 1.5hour) that will engage the local arts community as an extension of their films’ narrative and concept. The extended events also offer networking opportunities with fellow artist-collaborators and local audiences. Digital access to the films will be provided on www.rawground.sg for two weeks subsequent to the film launch for both local and international audiences.’\n\n\n\n*Dates may be subjected to change.\n~Films completed prior to the start of this project based on contractual date are not eligible for submission.\n^Artists will need to fund their own trip to Singapore for the launch event. \n  \nSubmit your application at https://rawmoves.net/open-call-25-26/

SUMMARY:Pratchaya Phinthong: No Patents on Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Singapore Art Museum presents Pratchaya Phinthong: No Patents on Ideas\, the first solo exhibition of Bangkok-based artist Pratchaya Phinthong in Singapore. The exhibition delves into ideas of self-determination and objects as avatars of chance. Drawing inspiration from his time in Singapore\, it offers a comprehensive look at significant explorations foundational to Phinthong’s two-decade multidisciplinary practice\, reflecting his ways of conceptual thinking that translate research\, scientific discoveries\, economic theories\, and even rumours into experiential forms and gestures.  \nPhinthong’s works represent a crucial facet of Thai contemporary art\, rooted in collaboration\, exchange\, and the transference of artistic agency—reshaping the value and meaning of art. His practice often evokes open-ended situations that invite viewers to engage\, fill in the gaps with their own perceptions and explore multiple narratives. By engaging with issues of global exchange\, economic models and value systems\, Pratchaya Phinthong: No Patents on Ideas challenges our conventional understandings of the world and offers a thought-provoking perspective on contemporary concerns through the lens of Phinthong’s conceptual practice.

SUMMARY:Yee I-Lann: Mansau-Ansau
DESCRIPTION:Singapore Art Museum presents Yee I-Lann: Mansau-Ansau\, a solo mid-career exhibition showcasing recent and seminal works by Malaysian contemporary artist Yee I-Lann\, providing a refreshing and critical perspective from her home in Sabah. The exhibition titled Mansau-Ansau (referring in the Dusun and Kadazan language to a wandering without expectation and thus embracing curiosity) attends to Yee’s journey of discovery and creation over two decades\, navigating domains of knowledge\, old and new\, and reimagining the forms and dynamics of power. \nThe exhibition spans a range of media\, including photo collage\, silk\, batik\, bamboo pus\, and pandanus. Yee closely collaborates with sea- and land-based communities and indigenous mediums in Sabah\, Malaysia\, weaving thoughtfully presented narratives and cultural bridges through art. Visitors are invited to encounter a horizon that teases\, where the kerbau (buffalos) stand their ground and mats ‘eat’ tables\, experience karaoke beyond language\, and meet turtles as they return home. Yee I-Lann: Mansau-Ansau spotlights Yee’s critical practice\, which serves as a poignant reminder for reorientation\, attending to the moment with curiosity\, and embracing one’s path and rhythm.

SUMMARY:Robert Zhao Renhui: 5 Albizias
DESCRIPTION:Step into the shade of the Albizia tree (Albizia moluccana)\, a resilient migrant tree species that has quietly spread and flourished in rewilding green spaces across Singapore’s landscape\, forming isolated islands amid Singapore’s urban concrete jungle. 5 Albizias\, a travelling showcase by artist Robert Zhao Renhui\, explores the history of the Albizia tree in Singapore\, tracing its origins to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia\, where the fast-growing species often populates areas marked by human intervention and natural disturbances.  \nThrough striking visuals of five Albizias—four from across Singapore in Tampines\, Punggol\, Jurong\, and Woodlands\, corresponding to the showcase venues—and one from the Maluku Islands\, 5 Albizias invites visitors to examine the impact human actions have on these spaces and the dynamic interplay between native and non-native\, natural and artificial. By spotlighting the resilience of these often-overlooked trees\, the exhibition brings to the fore their essential role in rewilding disturbed land\, creating pockets of green where life can thrive anew. \nPresented by Singapore Art Museum\, 5 Albizias takes Zhao’s explorations of the Albizia tree into the heartlands. Beginning at Punggol Regional Library\, the showcase will travel to the following locations from 18 December 2024 to 29 June 2025:  \n\nPunggol Regional Library: 18 December 2024 – 2 February 2025\nWoodlands Regional Library: 5 February 2025 – 23 March 2025\nJurong Regional Library: 26 March 2025 – 11 May 2025\nTampines Regional Library: 14 May 2025 – 29 June 2025

SUMMARY:Natural Radio Workshop led by artist Ong Kian Peng
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will introduce participants to natural radio. Natural radio is the emission of Very Low Frequency (VLF) and Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) radio waves due to electromagnetic energy from natural phenomena. These emissions originate terrestrially from lightning and from the Sun’s interactions with the Earth’s magnetosphere\, they are among the inaudible voices of the environment. If the low frequencies of these electromagnetic outbursts are transformed into acoustic waves\, many of these signals may fall within the range of human hearing. Experiencing electromagnetic waves as acoustic waves will allow listeners to connect with the beauty and complexity of natural radio waves in a unique aural experience. \nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to assemble an analogue handheld radio device that tunes in to natural radio frequencies. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring their own headphones with a 3.5mm audio jack\, along with an optional audio recorder to capture and share their auditory discoveries. \nThis workshop is part of the Empirical Workshop Series of Communities of Practice. Techno Diversions. \nNo prior knowledge of electronics is required. \nLimited slots only! Register here.\nThis workshop is free for all participants. A refundable deposit of SGD 10 is requested to book a slot. The deposit will be returned upon attendance of the event. There will be no refund in case of no-show. \nIf you have questions\, email ntuccacomms@ntu.edu.sg

SUMMARY:comma 2025: PAST x PRESENT = FUTURE
DESCRIPTION:comma\, indicating an unfinished sentence\, reflects the fluidity of the arts and never-ending pursuit for excellence among Singapore’s young creatives. \n \nFrom 31 December 2024 to 26 January 2025\, comma is a Creative Arts festival that celebrates emerging artists while bringing the spotlight to Singapore’s budding creative scene at the Somerset Belt.  \nThe equation “PAST x PRESENT = FUTURE” invites contemplation on how the echoes of the past resonate in the present\, shaping the trajectory of what is yet to come.    \nThis theme invites artists to delve into this interconnectedness by unearthing forgotten narratives\, evolving perspectives and envisioning the influence of the past and present on our future. Drawing inspiration from tradition\, heritage and ritualism\, artists are encouraged to experiment with new techniques and unconventional themes and materials\, creating works that not only mirror our current reality but also provide glimpses into the trajectory of where we are headed.    \nAudiences will experience works that pay homage to our roots while offering fresh and contemporary interpretations\, weaving together the threads of past\, present\, and future.

SUMMARY:Of Dreams and Contemplation: I am All but a Story – Selections from the Collection of Richard Koh
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with Singapore Art Week 2025\, The Private Museum is proud to present Of Dreams and Contemplation: I am All but a Story – Selections from the Collection of Richard Koh. This exhibition marks the second showcase of Richard Koh’s evolving journey as a collector and gallerist\, showcasing over 50 works from his personal collection. \n  \nBuilding upon the narrative of the first instalment in 2019—held at the museum’s former home at 51 Waterloo Street—the second instalment expands the scope of Koh’s deeply personal collection. The first showcase offered an intimate glimpse into Koh’s collection—emphasising monochromatic\, abstract\, and landscape works that reflected quiet introspection. Now\, Of Dreams and Contemplation: I am All but a Story continues to unfold a collection rich in personal meaning—presenting works that trace Koh’s decades-long interactions with art and the artists he admires. \n  \nCollected with a focus on memory and emotion\, Koh’s private collection spans Southeast Asia and beyond\, blending local\, regional\, and global perspectives. This exhibition deepens the dialogue between art and life\, revealing Koh’s ongoing exploration of what he calls a “visual diary”—works that evoke deeply personal moments and emotions. This new selection of works reflects an evolving journey that continues to resonate with new meanings in The Private Museum’s expansive space at the Osborne House. \n  \nAs both a collector and the founder of Richard Koh Fine Art\, Richard Koh has played a pivotal role in shaping and contributing towards the art ecology in Southeast Asia. This collaboration with Richard Koh underscores the collective effort and dedication towards fostering meaningful exchanges between artists\, collectors\, the arts communities\, and audiences from all walks of life. \nKickstarting the Museum’s 2025 programme\, Of Dreams and Contemplation: I am All but a Story invites all to explore the richness of art and discover how collections can tell deeply personal stories. As Richard Koh aptly states\, “Art\, in any collection\, should have its own story\,” inspiring audiences to embark on their own journey of collecting and storytelling through art.

DESCRIPTION:Accessibility Features\nOpen captions in English for all shows \na unique approach\, rather bold and different \n—Natya Vichara on Purushi by Ruby Jayaseelan \nI know [Effendy’s work] will express a kind of pain and anger acceptable in the performance space\, a pain and anger that is often delegitimised or minimised or considered “inappropriate” elsewhere—and I cherish his work for that reason. \n—Corrie Tan\, Jom Media on ANAK by Very Shy Gurl by fendy \nI myself am an absolute abyss. \n—Antonin Artaud \nIn the beginning\, God created despair\, for men to find hope within. Someone heard someone else say this somewhere before\, sometime back. But no one knows who\, when and where. It must have been God herself who had said this through some men. Only God could be that smart to tease men into such futility. And here\, men find themselves being baited into their own despair. \nConceptualised and directed by Noor Effendy Ibrahim and Ruby Jayaseelan\, Dancing with the Ghost of My Child is an experimental physical theatre performance written by Elvira Foo Jing  Yun\, Gregory Kong Ka-Ee\, Lex (Lee Zhi Qi)\, and Liu Qintong (Amelia) exploring vulnerability\, trauma and the desire to heal.

SUMMARY:Ernest Goh | ‘Bleached Bones: Last Words of the Dead Spoken by a Dying Sea’
DESCRIPTION:‘Bleached Bones’ is a visual catalogue of photographic prints by artist and photographer Ernest Goh. In this exhibition curated by Shireen Marican\, bleached corals capture timeless\, poignant last words of the departed. \nBleaching is a phenomenon when corals turn completely white after algae in their tissues are expelled when their waters are too warm — nature’s lasting reminder that climatic changes continue to influence ecological systems. \nErnest’s explorations across the shores of Nikoi Island in Indonesia led to a discovery of the unique formations of these bleached corals. In these\, he finds a visual parallel to the alphabet system which he draws upon to contemplate lessons of life and living from death poems and last words. \nThis exhibition is presented by Blueprint Art Advisory. For information on exhibition programmes\, please visit www.blueprintartadvisory.com/ernestgoh-bleachedbones \nExhibition is open 11 am – 7 pm daily. \nExhibition is closed 28 Jan – 2 Feb 2025 for Chinese New Year.

SUMMARY:Robert Zhao: The Divine in the Trash Stratum
DESCRIPTION:The symbols of the divine show up in our world initially at the trash stratum.\n– Philip K Dick \nShanghART Singapore is pleased to present The Divine in the Trash Stratum\, a solo exhibition by Robert Zhao Renhui featuring his latest photographic works. The exhibition highlights the profound transformations that emerge from layers of waste and decay\, as the artist invites us to reimagine the relationship between humanity and nature. \nA series of photographs of various creatures on a fallen Albizia tree trunk welcome visitors into the space. These strange scenes depict how a site of destruction has transformed into one of regeneration and life. Mysterious images of precious gems are in fact created with remnants of human activity such as glass shards and discarded fragments\, manifesting them as symbols of how forest processes and human histories intertwine. \nOpening 11 January 2025 ahead of Singapore Art Week\, the exhibition coincides with the Singapore Art Museum’s presentation of Seeing Forest\, first shown at the Singapore Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, extending Zhao’s ongoing explorations of ecological resilience.

SUMMARY:M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2025: WePushTheSky by Qabila
DESCRIPTION:Accessibility Features\nOpen captions in English for all shows. \n… part history lesson\, part culinary exploration\, and part feminist fable\n \n— Karthik Ranganathan\, Citizen Matters \nThe play is a triumph of storytelling and is exceptionally brave.. \n—Venkat Srinivasan\, Sabrang India \nWePushTheSky is an interactive solo performance that weaves together food\, song\, story\, myth\, and history. Where personal stories meet community histories\, survival stories of the Karbala entwine with songs of the Ramayana\, and anecdotes from the past confront desires about the future. A play that reflects on an urgent social reality of our present times—friendships that have been lost\, gained\, or have endured amidst increasing shrill political rhetoric across the world. \nWritten and performed by Nisha Abdulla and directed by Ujwala Rao\, WePushTheSky centres friendship and feminist solidarities as an antidote to the politics of hate. The play invites the audience to listen deeply to another’s reality and elevates listening to the act of an assertive ally. WePushTheSky has toured widely to warm receptions in India\, performed at the Feminist Theatre Festival in Jenin\, Occupied Palestine\, and has been invited to perform at the 15th Association for Women’s Rights in Development (AWID) International Forum in Bangkok\, Thailand. \nThere will be a dialogue with the artists after each performance\, with speech to text interpretation available upon request for the dialogue on 16 January 2025.

SUMMARY:The Eye and The Tiger
DESCRIPTION:Walk up to a fabled black and white bungalow nestled in a lush rolling landscape. If you think the black-and-white is about exclusivity\, you’re absolutely right. But the story is far bloodier and infinitely blacker. \nThe form and function of the black and white bungalow take after the Anglo-Indian plantation villa\, once part of a global botanical network built on lies\, violence and indentured labour. \nSpread open the map and you will see two more landmarks nearby that have been forgotten in the story of our black-and-whites: Botanic Gardens and Tiger Hill. Discover how the colonial gaze shapes our relationship to land and nature\, and how tigers have haunted us at every step. \nCome join us on this guided art walk.

SUMMARY:M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2025: The Troupe by Birds Migrant Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Language\nIn English\, with some Bahasa Indonesia\, Bengali and Burmese \nAccessibility Features\nOpen captions in English for all shows. \n  \nWith a good cast giving their all onstage\, an unflinching\, objectively written story that speaks truth to the limitations of being a migrant in Singapore\, and imaginative script that explores the pitfalls of love and family\, Foreign Bodies was a rare\, big-hearted\, honest glimpse into migrant life\, by migrant workers with a story to tell.\n \n— Bakchormeeboy.com on Foreign Bodies \n\nPlease welcome The Troupe! They travel around towns and villages with their show. They perform stories about farmers\, refugees\, students\, politicians and aid workers—people in search of a better life. As they stage their play\, they discover that what they perform may be closer to home than they realise. \nBirds Migrant Theatre returns to the Fringe with another important play that focuses on current world issues—from war to the refugee crisis—and how these tragedies pose questions to our common humanity. The Troupe looks at how people who are affected by displacement strive for a more positive future—not just for themselves\, but for their families and community. Will suffering and desperation bring out the best in people—or the worst? What is the price of compassion? \n \nForeign Bodies is a well-told story that dramatises the legal precarity migrant workers may face in Singapore. It does so without resorting to mere sympathy or an easy us-versus-them set-up\, choosing instead to let audiences into its protagonists’ dilemmas.\n \n—The Straits Times Life on Foreign Bodies \nThere will be a dialogue with the artists after the 5pm performance on 12 January 2025\, with speech to text interpretation available upon request.

SUMMARY:Phenomenology of Light and Rhythms of the Earth
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition by Zen Teh and SueKi Yee \n14 Jan to 2 Mar 2025\nObjectifs Lower Galleries \nOpening: Tue 14 Jan 2025\, 7pm – 9pm\nThe opening reception will be accompanied by a performance by Sueki Yee at 7pm.\nFree admission \nRelated events\nParticipative Movement Workshop (Please register here)\nDate & Time: Sat 18 Jan 2025\, 3pm – 530pm\nWorkshop details\nSueKi’s performance: 3pm – 4pm\nSharing and movement activities: 4pm – 530pm\nLocation: Objectifs Lower Galleries\nFree admission \nPhenomenology of Light and Rhythms of the Earth is a project extended from Zen Teh’s residency project and exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin\, Germany. As part of her residency project\, she conducted walking workshops in Phnom Penh\, Bangkok and Berlin. This project idea draws on her ongoing research on our relationship with urbanity in rapidly developing cities. \nZen (visual art) and SueKi (dance) as collaborators\, are now interested in moving forward with research into Singapore’s urban context\, delving deeper into how they can explore the discourses on light and urbanity through multidisciplinary means: soundscapes\, multimedia data translation\, movement\, and tactile forms. This provides multiple entry points into the research as well as the interpretation\, creation\, and presentation of the data. Through artistic means\, they are interested in opening up a space where people can take time to process and discuss their embodied perspectives on light and darkness\, and how these ever co-existing elements are inextricably linked to life rhythms\, memories\, pollution\, urban development\, safety and surveillance\, environmental changes\, accessibility of energy\, and volatile global political states. \n— \nAbout Zen Teh\nZen Teh (b.1988\, Singapore) is an artist and educator interested in man’s relationship with the natural world. Her art practice spans photography\, sculpture and installation art. Teh has initiated collaborative interdisciplinary projects with artists\, art professionals and scientists to explore the impact of human activity on natural environments. Teh’s works have been showcased in Singapore and regionally including Thailand\, Cambodia\, Indonesia\, Korea\, Japan\, Taiwan and China. She was conferred the Young Artist Award by The National Arts Council\, Singapore in 2021. She was artist-in-residence at the International Studio Programme at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin\, Germany in 2024. \nAbout SueKi Yee\nSueKi Yee is a Malaysian dancer-choreographer (currently based in Berlin) who’s drawn to improvisation\, site-specific work\, and multidisciplinary experimentation and collaboration. With a Bachelor in Dance (ASWARA)\, she’s trained in contemporary dance\, ballet\, and various traditional folk and classical dances. Movement has become her entry point into understanding and exploring other art forms\, providing diverse entry points into her work and expanding the horizons of research\, creation\, and presentation.
