Saturday Mornings: Singapore Stories: Pathways and Detours in Art at the National Gallery Singapore

In this Singapore Home Brew, we celebrate the vibrant intersection of art and national identity in a milestone year—Singapore turns 60, and the National Gallery marks its 10th anniversary. Joining us on the line is Dr. Adele Tan, Senior Curator at the Gallery and the guiding voice behind one of its most anticipated exhibitions: Singapore Stories: Pathways and Detours in Art.  This full-scale unveiling traces the evolving narratives of our visual culture, reflecting the dynamic turns and thoughtful detours that have shaped Singapore’s artistic journey. We’ll explore how the artworks were curated to tell these stories, how new project spaces are expanding the exhibition’s reach and relevance, and what surprises await visitors who step into this immersive cultural archive. Dr. Tan, welcome to the show—and let’s begin with what this exhibition means on such a landmark birthday for both Singapore and the Gallery.
