Visual Art: Ibrahim Mahama’s Digging Stars makes art of care and caring

Ibrahim Mahama’s Digging Stars unfolds not only as an exhibition, but as a proposition for how art might be made, shared, and sustained under conditions of structural inequality and scarcity.

There is a moment, just after stepping backstage at Singapore Repertory Theatre’s KC Arts Centre, when the outside world falls away.

Singapore Art Week 2026: STPI’s The Print Show & Symposium Singapore offers a deep dive into the productive disorder of print

If printmaking still carries the reputation of being secondary, thought of as editions locked behind glass, conceptually subordinate to painting or sculpture, STPI’s The Print Show & Symposium Singapore 2026 makes a deliberate case for its relevance now. Launched during Singapore Art Week, the initiative positions print not as a supporting medium but as a central, adaptive force within contemporary culture: materially rigorous, politically charged, … Continue reading Singapore Art Week 2026: STPI’s The Print Show & Symposium Singapore offers a deep dive into the productive disorder of print

With the launch of three new site-responsive works, Singapore Biennale 2025: pure intention continues to blur the boundary between art and the everyday, inviting viewers to encounter creativity not in white … Continue reading Visual Art: Revisit the Singapore Biennale 2025 with three new artworks in January 2026
