Singapore Art Week is often imagined as a whirlwind of gallery openings, exhibition hopping, and visual spectacle. But this January, one programme is inviting audiences to slow down, tune in, and rethink what it really means to experience art.

From 22 to 31 January 2026, Post Museum presents SAW in 10 Days | Seeing Art Differently, a public programme that reimagines Singapore Art Week through accessibility, youth perspectives, and shared authorship. Now in its latest edition, the programme shifts away from conventional art-viewing norms and asks a quieter, more radical question: what happens when art is guided, sensed, and shared beyond sight?

Rather than positioning accessibility as a supporting feature, Seeing Art Differently treats it as a creative practice in itself. Across ten days, the programme unfolds through a series of co-created tours and tactile encounters that invite participants to experience the city’s art landscape through trust, care, and embodied attention.

The programme features three distinct tour formats, each shaped by different communities and ways of learning. One tour is developed in collaboration with students from LASALLE College of the Arts. Designed as both an educational and public-facing experience, the tour invites emerging practitioners to reflect on questions of access, mediation, and curatorial responsibility as they navigate Singapore Art Week alongside participants. It becomes a space where institutional learning meets lived experience, and where students test what inclusive facilitation might look like in real time.

On weekends, two access-led tours take a more multisensory approach. Co-created with visually-impaired collaborators and an access advisor, these tours are guided by visually-impaired facilitators themselves. Participants are led through exhibitions using spatial storytelling, careful pacing, and sensory awareness, prioritising orientation and trust over speed or spectacle. Open to both the visually-impaired community and the wider public, the tours are designed not as segregated access sessions, but as shared encounters that invite everyone to reconsider how art can be felt, remembered, and understood.

Completing the trio are youth ambassador-led tours for aspiring curators. Through an open call, two youth ambassadors are selected and mentored to co-facilitate tours during Singapore Art Week. Working alongside access-led principles and community-based approaches, these tours offer hands-on experience in inclusive facilitation while creating space for intergenerational exchange and conversation.

The experience doesn’t end when the tour does. Returning for 2026 is the SAW Passport, newly reimagined as a tactile object. Featuring embossed stamps co-designed with artists and visually-impaired collaborators, the passport encourages participants to navigate exhibitions through touch and memory. Each stamp becomes both a record and a sensory prompt, reinforcing the idea that accessibility can be artistic, intentional, and meaningful.

Taken together, SAW in 10 Days | Seeing Art Differently offers an alternative way of moving through Singapore Art Week, one that foregrounds slowness, collaboration, and shared learning. It is less about ticking off exhibitions, and more about how art is encountered, guided, and held collectively.

Organisations, schools, and individuals interested in joining the tours or supporting as route assistants can reach out to Post Museum for more information. As Singapore Art Week continues to grow, this programme offers a gentle but powerful reminder: art doesn’t just live on walls. It lives in bodies, relationships, and the many ways we learn to navigate the city together.
