The theme of this year’s Light to Night Singapore festival, Reimagine, invites you to engage with art and space in new and innovative ways, which spark creativity and encourage reflection. You will be taken on a journey through immersive and interactive experiences, each taking inspiration from our nation’s history and artworks from the National Collection.

PARTY PAVILION - Join us under the dancing lights and vibrant colours at the Party Pavilion, where imagination and nostalgia converge! Inspired by Asian Civilisations Museum’s collection and the whimsy of theme parks, this work captures the exuberance of adolescence, letting visitors rediscover the carefree spirit of their youth.

EMBROIDERED LANDSCAPES - draws inspiration from the costumes and music of 街戏, or jie xi, a type of Chinese Opera, which is disappearing from the streets of Singapore. Each opera costume is like a landscape in and of itself.

PASSAGE - reimagines Singapore’s history as a port city through the perspective of ceramic bowls since the beginning of Singapore’s maritime trade history. Developed by a team of Year 4 and 5 Visual Arts, Literary Arts and Music students from School of the Arts Singapore (SOTA), Passage was inspired by objects found in the Asian Civilisations Museum, including ceramic bowls from the Tang Shipwreck, as well as iconic blue porcelain and Peranakan ceramics.

WINTER SONATA, SUMMER MOOKATA - takes you on a surreal and mind-bending journey that explores the intricacies of human existence and spiritual consciousness with trippy visual imagery. Drawing inspiration from pop culture, comics, films, anime, science fiction and philosophy, and using a combination of digital and analogue animation techniques, the artists invite viewers into a strange and captivating world that shifts between the tactile and the intangible.

8-BIT WORD CLOUD - In this work, Justin Loke explores the connection between digital technology, words and letters. Inspired by philosopher Karl Popper’s essay “On Clocks and Clouds,” the installation harmonises the precision of “clocks” with the unpredictability of “clouds,” mirroring how the concepts of rhyme and reason coexist in literary forms like poetry. I'll make a guess, "COTTON CANDY SKIES, WHISPERING TALES AS THEY GLIDE, CLOUDS, NATURE'S LULLABY?"

WINGS OF CHANGE - features an enormous saga seed, an object that has endless possibilities. Nahappan’s luminescent saga seed symbolises energy and hope. Her artwork draws attention to the saga tree, whose population has declined over the years.
