The family-favourite Gallery Children’s Biennale 2025 is back with multi-sensory and immersive installations where art meets play! As National Gallery Singapore celebrates its 10th anniversary, the fifth edition of the Biennale invites the young and young at heart to dream big, express their creativity, and explore a hopeful and inclusive future shaped by the core values of Joy, Kindness, Love, and Dream.

Games are among humanity’s oldest shared experiences – a source of joy, challenge, and connection for thousands of years. In Asia, they have developed in remarkably diverse ways, from the lively, fast-paced rhythms of mahjong and congkak to the contemplative strategy of go and chess. They have entertained and educated, reflected power and status, and acted as metaphors for life.

This exhibition explores the rich history of Asian games and the role they have played in shaping culture, identity, and community. Some travelled widely, taking on new forms and meanings across borders. Others became tools for mental training or expressions of artistic ideals. Even today, they remain at the frontier of innovation – as seen in the rise of artificial intelligence.

Many of the games on display are also works of extraordinary beauty and craftsmanship. As you explore the exhibition, we invite you to discover how the act of play continues to inspire, evolve, and connect people across time and place.

Let’s Play! incorporates playable interactives, outdoor installations, collaborations with schools and local game associations, and a diverse line-up of programmes and talks.

Singapore Art Museum (SAM) presents its latest exhibition The Living Room, as part of the final chapter of Collection Project: Communicating, Convening, Commoning—a long-term collaboration between SAM, Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA), and Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA). Housed at SAM’s refreshed collection gallery, the exhibition brings together performance-based works from the collections of all three institutions to explore how performances – fleeting by nature – can be remembered, reactivated, and carried forward through different forms of engagement. At its heart is a central question: What happens to a performance when it ends? Where does its liveness go, and how might we make sense of what remains?

Featuring works by renowned local and international artists such as Ezzam Rahman, Chuyia Chia, Kim Garam, Brian Fuata and others, The Living Room presents a breadth of practices spanning live performances, video, installation, performance traces, re-enactments, and artist-led activations. Taking inspiration from the living room as a space for gathering and presence, the exhibition invites visitors into an evolving environment that is brought to life through activation, conversation, and exchange. By bringing together works grounded in lived experience, The Living Room opens new ways of understanding how performance lives on through objects, memory, interaction, and shared encounters.

The Living Room is showcased alongside Talking Objects at SAM’s collection gallery. Together, they create a reflective space where personal and collective experiences converge, offering insights into individual narratives and broader social and cultural conditions.

Singapore Art Museum (SAM) presents Talking Objects, its latest exhibition at the dedicated collection gallery. Drawn from the museum’s collection, the exhibition explores how everyday objects – commonplace items, familiar scenes and everyday representations — become vessels of memory, meaning, and emotion when seen through the lens of artists and their practices. Beyond materiality, Talking Objects considers how even the most everyday forms can become instruments of expression. In the hands of artists, the ordinary takes on new significance, inviting us to look again at the world around us.

Featuring works by widely recognised artists from across Asia, including Alwin Reamillo, Suzann Victor, and Christine Ay Tjoe, Talking Objects showcases a diversity of artistic voices and practices, while offering insights into SAM’s ongoing research into the material and conceptual languages of contemporary art in the region. These artworks resonate with shared human experiences while remaining grounded in the particularities of place and personal history. The exhibition invites visitors to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the quiet power of objects in shaping how we see and understand the world.

Talking Objects is housed alongside The Living Room in SAM’s collection gallery.Together, they create a reflective space where personal and collective experiences converge, offering insights into individual narratives and broader social and cultural conditions.

Award-winning band The Lumineers brings their Automatic World Tour to Singapore on 24 January 2026 at Fort Canning Green!

Founded in 2005, The Lumineers have risen to become one of the most successful and influential bands of their generation, blending alternative rock, Americana, and heartfelt storytelling. Beyond music, the band champions environmental sustainability and social causes, supporting initiatives in human rights, youth mental health, music education, and hunger relief.

With their 2025 release Automatic marking a new era of creative evolution, fans can expect both timeless hits and fresh sounds when The Lumineers take the stage in Singapore.

With its dazzling feathers and spectacular tail, the peacock has long symbolised beauty, power, and divinity across Asia. For centuries, its striking form has captivated artists and devotees alike, inspiring works that range from sacred images to everyday adornment.

The peacock motif travelled between cultures. Peranakan art, shaped by the convergence of multiple influences, is the starting point for this journey. Treasures from the National Collection and important lenders explore the bird’s presence in a broad range of artistic disciplines. Each object invites visitors to consider how a motif moved between regions and contexts, revealing the networks that connect peoples and how artistic traditions evolve through exchange.

The exhibition presents these connections through colourful displays, interactive stations, and lively programmes. A new work by artist Ernest Goh explores the peacock in the context of its symbolism, cultural heritage, and ecology.

Empowering Women’s Health: Innovations in Gynaecology & Obstetrics
Women’s health stands at the core of global well-being, and advancements in gynaecology and obstetrics (G&O) play a critical role in ensuring safe motherhood, reproductive health, and overall quality of life. With challenges such as maternal mortality, infertility, cancer, and menopause-related complications, innovation and collaboration are more important than ever.
The 5th Global Gynaecology & Obstetrics Conference, taking place from January 19–21, 2026, in Dubai, UAE, offers a premier international platform for clinicians, researchers, midwives, policymakers, and industry leaders to share knowledge, foster collaborations, and shape the future of women’s healthcare.

Embark on a meditative experience at Temple, a new participatory artwork by Vietnamese-American artist Tuan Andrew Nguyen. Commissioned by National Gallery Singapore for its Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission series and presented as part of Singapore Biennale 2025: pure intention, Temple invites visitors to reflect on history and contemplate the impact of war through a multisensorial experience that blends kinetic motion and sound – underscoring the Gallery’s mission to connect the art of Singapore and Southeast Asia to the world and foster critical dialogue on global issues through art.

Featuring bells and mobiles crafted from recovered and defused unexploded ordnance (UXO) from the Vietnam War, visitors are encouraged to strike the defused shells, gongs, and chimes, creating a meditative soundscape. Through this transformation of weapons of war into instruments of peace, Nguyen inspires ideas of karmic balance, reincarnation, and the memories embedded within materials, offering a powerful lens for healing and reconciliation.

Temple is the eighth edition of the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission.

China’s most influential rock band — Miserable Faith (痛仰乐队) — ventures deep into Southeast Asia for the very first time, bringing the spirit of Eastern rock into Bangkok’s bustling streets, Singapore’s multicultural melting pot, and Kuala Lumpur’s tropical rhythm.

Formed in 1999, the band is composed of vocalist Gao Hu, guitarist Song Jie, bassist Zhang Jing, and drummer Dawei. For Miserable Faith, rock music is a way to reshape the world. From hardcore rock and road rock to reggae and beyond, their style is ever-changing and limitless.

Miserable Faith has always embraced the spirit of being “on the road”, letting the philosophy of Eastern rock collide with global cultures. This time, Southeast Asia’s Southeast Asia’s vibrant energy and open spirit will become another vivid mark on the band’s musical journey.

由24OWLS主办的 CLANG克浪!音乐节将在2026年一月迎来第四届，完整阵容正式公布。本届继续坚持一贯核心：让音乐回到最纯粹的样子。不靠巨型声光、不走华丽包装，只想让观众在最贴近的距离，听见一首歌最原始、最有温度的模样。
选团方式也延续CLANG克浪!的精神：舞台留给能在LIVE状态发光的人。不追榜单、不看热度，而是邀请那些能展现强大现场能量的乐团，也让更多被播放量埋没的好声音，有机会被真正爱音乐的人听见。

CLANG! ignites its fourth edition — paving the way for an indie music subculture that refuses to stay underground
Singapore — CLANG! returns this January with its fourth and boldest edition yet, signalling what many in the scene already know: this isn’t just another festival. It’s a movement — a gathering for those who dig deeper, listen harder, and find themselves rooted in a growing subculture of raw, live, unpolished music.
From the team at 24OWLS — organisers who continue to defy the safe route — CLANG! once again pairs instinct with guts. Their fourth lineup is a celebration of bands who may not dominate charts, but dominate hearts; artists who play because they love to, because they have to, because live is where their music truly breathes.
This edition pushes the envelope further with the festival’s first-ever Hong Kong spotlight. Veteran punk-pop powerhouse Dear Jane makes Singapore their only Asia stop following their four-night, sold-out 20th anniversary run at Hong Kong’s Hung Hom Coliseum — a rare treat for fans who’ve been waiting for a chance to catch them on this side of the region.
Staying true to CLANG!’s discovery DNA, the lineup continues its tradition of elevating rising voices from the underground:
Hello Nico, weaving soft shadows and electric edges

Zpecial, bringing clever pop-funk energy with bite

Song of Crane 宋德鹤, blending folk-rock storytelling with emotional fire

For fans who need a way in, the festival also anchors this year’s edition with familiar favourites. Golden Melody Award-winning Cosmos People 宇宙人 return with their signature groove, while Taiwan’s Men Envy Children 小男孩樂團 — fresh off the success of their Netflix-hit track “Hey Girl” from Ying Hou — round out the lineup with warmth, wit, and weight.
Across its editions, CLANG! has grown into a space where music lovers, subculture wanderers, and the simply curious gather not just for bands, but for the atmosphere: food, craft, art, books, and the unspoken feeling of being part of something real.
CLANG! isn’t following anyone’s path. It’s carving its own — one show, one sound, one clan at a time.
This fourth edition proves it.

Artists Elia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega explore how the demands of a relentless extraction, from plantations to electric futures, cast a shadow on the very “breath of the Earth.”

Elia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega: Nafasan Bumi ~ An Endless Harvest imagines the afterlives of materials that persist long after their use, outlasting our time in this age of excess. Plantations, mining sites, and the promise of electric vehicle technologies become places where the stories of tomorrow are formed, bound by Indonesia’s extractive economies whose resources sustain the pulse of today’s global demand.

From the need for oxygen to nickel’s role in lithium-ion technologies, from the cutting down of forests to palm oil’s many applications, these materials represent the state of the Earth’s breath (Nafasan Bumi) today, strained by extraction. The planet’s natural rhythms no longer move freely but are drawn into the labour of industry, breathing through the exhaustion of a harvest that never ends.

Across the exhibition, labour appears as both memory and speculation, a rhythm shared by humans, machines, and the living world. Conveyor belts, once emblems of the industrial revolution and the mechanisation of labour, now hum to the pulse of tropical plants, creating a continuous cycle of productivity. Nearby, sculptures cast in palm oil wax evoke the stillness of carved stone yet resist ideals of perfection, creating a dreamscape haunted by plantation residues. Others, made from discarded palm waste, hold the tension between fragility and endurance.

Together, these artworks trace how human and non-human life have been enmeshed in cycles of ceaseless pursuit of productivity, asking: What will the future shaped by these material conditions? Like the recurring haze that engulfs Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia during the southwest monsoon, the Earth’s breath, shadowed by an endless harvest, lingers as a reminder of what extraction conceals and refuses to let us forget. ~

It’s your one chance to ‘Be Our Guest’ this December! Disney’s brand-new production of Beauty and the Beast makes its only stop in Asia, here in Singapore.

In a world shaped by shifting borders, changing climates, and diaspora, how do we choose to respond? S.E.A. Focus returns for its eighth edition under the curatorial theme, The Humane Agency.

Curated by John Z.W. Tung, with artistic consultation by Emi Eu, Executive Director of STPI, the presentation highlights the quiet yet urgent force of artists who choose compassion over detachment. Instead of framing people as mere symbols of crisis, the works foreground human connection—as a site of relation, care and resilience.

Spanning a variety of formats, scale and media, galleries and artists from across Southeast Asia and beyond reflect on three pressing global currents: the persistence of conflict and our longing for peace, the intensifying ecological crisis, and the movement of communities across and beyond nation-states. Together, the works slow us down, deepen our capacity to feel and remind us that empathy is not optional—it is a method, an urgency and first step toward imagining a more connected, less estranged future.

Commissioned by the National Arts Council (NAC), S.E.A. Focus 2026 will be organised by and held at ART SG 2026 for the first time at the iconic Marina Bay Sands. Audiences are invited to experience how artists today act not just as observers of the world, but as active participants in shaping it.
