That’s the focus of SingaPop! 60 Years of Singapore Pop Culture, a new multimedia exhibition at the ArtScience Museum that opens on 2 August as the flagship of its SG60 Season.

Art What!: Dylan Chan and Daniel Chong’s ‘unfurling murmurs’ at DECK

unfurling murmurs by Dylan Chan and Daniel Chong, draws from the tensions within ephemeral queer moments. Located between fleeting gestures of intimacy, they circulate and exist within the inbetween. Set against the backdrop of DECK’s open ground, the project bridges imagery and materiality, forming structures that both invite and evade. Absent within the site are direct references to figures, hinted only through cut background images. … Continue reading Art What!: Dylan Chan and Daniel Chong’s ‘unfurling murmurs’ at DECK

Review: Whispering Tiger, Hidden Essence by Grain Performance & Research Lab

★★★☆☆ Review: Eclipse (2025) by The Necessary Stage

But for those with relatives or ancestors living in India or Pakistan, … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Eclipse (2025) by The Necessary Stage

★★★★☆ Review: Commission Continua by Noma Yini

A history of violence, corruption and cover-ups, buried in paper and archives. Of all the places to discover violence, one would least expect to find it within the four walls of a tiny basement office of archival documents. But that is precisely what Noma Yini does with their work Commission Continua, which made its world premiere last week at the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival. Last … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: Commission Continua by Noma Yini

★★★★☆ Review: WePushTheSky by Qabila

Incendiary play that shows you exactly how people are pushed to extreme measures. It is only human to want to connect, to reach out and share in the friendship of others. It makes sense then that in Qabila’s WePushTheSky, playwright and performer Nisha Abdulla greets us when we first enter the theatre, her voice warm and welcoming as we settle into our seats. Behind her, there … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: WePushTheSky by Qabila
