22 JUN – 9 JUL 2016 | The O.P.E.N. – Open, Participate, Enrich, Negotiate – is a pre-festival of ideas from the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA). It is a public engagement initiative that connects the public to the themes and issues of the main Festival.
This year, The O.P.E.N. boasts a rich, star-studded line-up of over 50 events across five segments: exhibition, performance, concert, salon (talks and forums) and film in which audiences will get to further discover what individuals are doing in the world through pop, fashion, design and architecture, clubbing, photojournalism and film, to name a few.
The O.P.E.N. digs deep into the heart of the theme for the year: Potentialities. It explores the potential of individuals to develop in the future and transform society. Artists featured are transforming their worlds through their arts and visions – what future will they bring to our society and increasingly inter- connected worlds? How have they used art as a catalyst for conversation and sparking change?
SIFA 2016: THE O.P.E.N is happening from 22 June to 9 July 2016 at various locations around the island. Tickets are priced at $45 ($25, concession) and are available via SISTIC. For more details, please click here.
