SAM Contemporaries 2: How To Dream Worlds<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"event<\/p>\n

Running through to 16 November at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, the Singapore Art Museum invites you to drift between imagined futures and lingering uncertainties in <\/span>How To Dream Worlds<\/i><\/span>, the second edition of its SAM Contemporaries series. The exhibition showcases newly commissioned works by six emerging Singaporean artists including Chok Si Xuan, Chu Hao Pei, and Syahrul Anuar. Spanning installations, moving images, and immersive environments, the exhibition reframes dreaming not as escape, but as resistance, research, and reimagination. With each artist bringing a unique lens, from nasi goreng as metaphor for diplomacy to the use of wild lalang<\/em> as a symbol of disruption, this exhibition is as much about process as it is about possibility.

\nAdmission is free for Singapore Citizens and PRs, but general admission fees apply for tourists and foreign residents. For details, visit <\/em>singaporeartmuseum.sg<\/a><\/em>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
