What’s on

Love the Last March

The longest sculpture in the world will soon be making its debut on Singapore’s shores – or, more specifically, in Gardens by the Bay. Spanning a vast 192m in length, Love the Last March comprises 45 sculptures of the world’s most endangered species, such as the mountain gorilla and the Northern hairy-nosed wombat.  The artists behind the sculpture, internationally renowned artists Gillie and Marc, aim to raise awareness of the wildlife extinction crisis the world is currently facing. The size of the whole sculpture reflects the scale of the issue, and each smaller sculpture depicts an endangered species. The exhibition doesn’t end with the physical sculpture – it is supplemented by an interactive augmented reality experience, in which the animal sculptures come alive and start marching. The AR experience can be accessed via a QR code, which will be available at the sculpture location. If you can’t make it to Gardens by the Bay, the AR experience can also be accessed online at www.lovethelast.com.    Don’t miss the opportunity to see the massive sculpture! From May 19 2023 to May 18 2024, witness the greatest animal march in the world at the Silver Garden in Gardens by the Bay. If you feel inclined to do so, there is an opportunity to make donations to support wildlife conservation efforts. Proceeds will go to the World Wide Fund for Nature Singapore’s local work in stopping illegal wildlife trade.

Sakura 2024

Viewing blossoming sakuras in Japan is right up there on many Singaporeans’ bucket list. If you have no plans to make a trip this cherry blossom season, then you’ll be glad to know that there’s a great alternative here in Singapore. The ninth edition of Gardens by the Bay’s sakura floral display is back this March – along with a slew of vibrant programmes showing off Japanese art and culture.  From March 22 to April 21, head to the Flower Dome to view blooming cherry blossom trees set in a tranquil garden landscape. This year, a shimmering pavilion reminiscent of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion), forms a stately backdrop to the blush-pink flowers. Viewing cherry blossoms is not only a daytime experience too. At night, the yozakura (night sakura) come to life – whip out your phone to capture lighted cherry blossom trees and mesmerising floor projections as the sky darkens.  Vibrant Japanese cultural activities It’s not a mere sightseeing trip at Sakura 2024. Gardens by the Bay and Japan Creative Centre are also presenting a series of Japanese cultural activities. Some programmes are exclusive to Flower Dome ticket holders, such as a Japanese drum performance by the group Hibikiya (March 23) and a Yosakoi Japanese dance performance done to the beat of a naruko. There are free public programmes too, like an aikido demonstration, a folk dance performance by Minyo Club of The Japanese Association, and a thrilling sparrow dance (Suzume Odori) by Japanese
