Singapore Art Museum

Start the year with a visit to Singapore Art Museum’s latest installation, Nafasan Bumi – An Endless Harvest, featuring works by Indonesian artists Elia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega. The exhibition explores the environmental costs of economic growth in an era of climate crisis, while exploring how the items we use today may leave their mark on the future. This immersive environment brings together kinetic, multimedia and sculptural installations that trace the impact of extractive economies across regional and global networks. Highlights include batik and palm oil sculptures depicting plantation labourers, mechanical systems powered by biofeedback from live plants and more.

Marking the return of Singapore Art Week, Sonic Shaman 2026: Borderless makes its Singapore debut at the Singapore Art Museum. Presented with Taipei’s TheCube Project Space, the large-scale exhibition brings together experimental sound, performance and contemporary art. Featuring more than 20 local and international artists and musicians, the showcase explores new ways of listening, sound-making and collective experience, drawing from Southeast Asia’s rich cultural histories. Visitors can also browse a marketplace of booths run by locally based creatives and take part in hands-on craft workshops.
