Earthopia Fest 2026
2026-05-29 10:00 - 22:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Fort Canning Green, Fort Canning Park, Canning Rise, Singapore, Singapore, Singapore
Earthopia Fest 2026 returns for its second edition from 29 to 31 May 2026 at Fort Canning Green, bringing together youth, community groups, green businesses, artists and advocates for a three-day sustainability festival built around climate action, circular living and wellness.
Organised by City Sprouts, the festival will bring together 100+ content partners and engage over 5,000 participants through hands-on workshops, panel discussions, a conscious marketplace curated by Sunday Social and City Sprouts’ Farmers Collective, the Earthling Exchange showcasing green innovations and social impact work, art installations made with repurposed materials, and live performances by local artists.
Designed to move audiences from awareness to intent and action, Earthopia Fest 2026 makes sustainability more accessible by connecting it to everyday choices — from fashion, food and wellness to creativity, community and conscious consumption.
Earthopia’s art installations turn waste into visual storytelling, creating accessible photo and video moments while making circular economy ideas tangible. Highlights include:

Our Current Creatures – large floating jellyfish-like forms made from plastic, inviting visitors to look twice at what our waste becomes.
E-Fossil: A Warning From Our Time – animal-like fossils assembled from e-waste and industrial materials, imagining what future generations might unearth from today’s consumption.
SOAR – an upcycled bird installation made from discarded milk bottles, transforming everyday waste into a symbol of recovery and lift-off.
Scarecrow Guardians – playful fashion-based guardians made from repurposed clothes, created with youth and circular fashion partners.
Disposable Planet – a vibrant Earth formed from colourful fabric scraps, led by Fashion Parade, greeting visitors with a strong circular fashion message.

Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form is Emptiness
2026-05-29 10:00 - 2026-10-04 19:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Singapore Art Museum at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, 39 Keppel Rd, #01-02 Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Singapore 089065, Singapore, 089065, Singapore
Singapore Art Museum proudly presents Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form is Emptiness, the first major solo exhibition in Southeast Asia dedicated to the practice of internationally renowned Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto. Conceived in dialogue with the Buddhist cosmological concept of the Five Elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Void), the exhibition unfolds across five interconnected sections that loop into one another, mirroring the cyclical rhythms of nature and life. This elemental framework reflects Sugimoto’s enduring inquiry into time, perception, and the structure of reality.
Bringing together over 60 works spanning five decades of his multidisciplinary practice, including significant, new, and rarely seen works, the exhibition reveals the breadth of Sugimoto’s oeuvre across photography, sculpture, and large-scale installation. From his meditative seascapes to architectural interventions and contemplative objects, Sugimoto’s works delicately balance a strong material presence with a deep metaphysical inquiry.
Form is Emptiness offers an immersive introduction to the work of one of the world’s most significant contemporary artists. Moving between permanence and impermanence, visibility and void, the exhibition invites audiences to slow down and consider how form itself can become a vessel for reflection, and how, through Sugimoto’s lens, the material world becomes a mirror for the mind.

Planet [wanderer]

Strange and bewitching, Planet [wanderer] is the intriguing result of a collaboration between renowned choreographer Damien Jalet – a collaborator of Madonna, Thom Yorke, and Marina Abramović, among others – and Japanese visual artist and scenographer Kohei Nawa.
Both have a fascination for transforming shapes in space. In this dreamlike piece, they confront the bodies of eight dancers with shifting materials and textures, creating a visceral meditation on the bond between people and planet. Their bodies move back and forth like reeds, in a fragile balance between power and vulnerability, harmony and survival, destruction and evolution.

mastery. Alongside the vibrant selection of international artists, the MUST Museum will

Ascent to the Bamboo Forest – A Dance Travelogue
2026-06-05 15:00 - 16:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Play Den, The Arts House, 1 Old Parliament Ln, Former Parliament House and Annex Building, Singapore 179429, Singapore, 179429, Singapore
Ascent to the Bamboo Forest — A Dance Travelogue serves as a rare window into a hidden geography of Asia: the mystical highlands of Northern Vietnam.
Following a 2025 performance-lecture, ARTS FISSION dancers Aisha Lozano, Marveen Lozano, Andine Elaina, and Ignatius Sim have since distilled their initial movement vocabulary into a triptych under the guidance of Angela Liong. The work is a deeply personal contemplation of the reverence for the land, the sincerity of communal rituals, and the Traditional Ecological Knowledge gleaned from their time among the mountain villagers.
In a departure from traditional scoring, composer Chua Jon-Lin facilitates a kinetic soundscape where the dancers utilise bamboo culms, leaves, and organic materials to generate a live, rhythmic score that breathes with the movement.
Step into this transformed clearing and witness a quiet beauty—a way of life and an ancestral wisdom standing on the brink of imminent loss.

Curated by New York-based independent curator and Zarina’s former studio manager Sarah Burney , Directions to My House offers a deeply informed perspective on the artist’s life and work, bringing together over 50 works from 12 lenders across multiple cities, reflecting her life that was profoundly shaped by numerous continents – having lived across Bangkok, New Delhi, Paris, Bonn, Tokyo, Santa Cruz, and finally New York.

Singapore Art Museum (SAM) presents Maria Taniguchi: Afterimage, the first monographic museum exhibition in Singapore by acclaimed Filipino artist Maria Taniguchi.
Anchored by Taniguchi’s ongoing series of “brick paintings”—large-scale canvases composed through the repeated hand-painting of brick-like forms—the exhibition explores recurring themes in her practice including repetition, time, and labour.
Afterimage brings together Taniguchi’s key works across painting, sculpture and moving image, offering an overview of her multidisciplinary practice. Alongside the “brick paintings,” the exhibition features a site-specific iteration of her Runaways sculptures and four video works produced between 2010–2026. From Java plum wood sculptures to video works examining memory and labour, the selection reveals the conceptual rigour and quiet intensity of one of Southeast Asia’s most significant contemporary artists.
Presented following Taniguchi’s first survey exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD) Manila, Afterimage invites audiences to encounter the materiality, scale, and rhythm through an intimate exhibition setting at their own pace.

CONSCIOUSNESS – ANIMA MUNDI 2026
June 19 – July 03, 2026
Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association,
is pleased to announce the opening of CONSCIOUSNESS, the second appointment of
ANIMA MUNDI 2026. The exhibition will open on June 19, 2026, at Palazzo
Albrizzi-Capello in Venice and will remain on view until July 03, 2026.
ANIMA MUNDI is the vital energy that flows through all things, the subtle force connecting
every form of existence, from natural to artificial, visible to invisible. Understood since
Plato’s Timaeus as the soul of a living universe, it returns today as an intuitive awareness
of an invisible but active network that sustains transformation, coexistence, and renewal
across matter, time, and life. It is the underlying rhythm that links ecosystems, human and
non-human entities, and balances the continuous evolution of the world. Within this
framework, artists, designers, and architects are invited to explore how this universal
energy manifests today, investigating the subtle correspondences between soul and body,
humanity and nature, and organic and synthetic worlds.
In the works of Amira Yaakoubi, the female body becomes a site where memory and
desire continuously intertwine: through layered compositions and expressive gestures, her
painting gives shape to figures suspended between strength and vulnerability,
transforming the image into a reflection on identity and the female condition. A related
sensibility emerges in the photographic practice of Maciej Max Dominik, who reduces the
body to its essential form through black and white imagery and a rigorous control of light,
in which each photograph seems to strip away every superfluous element, allowing
movement and presence to surface in a dialogue where the body never appears fixed or
definitive, but rather constantly shaped by emotional and perceptual transformation.
Nadine Collado, instead, develops a practice driven by intuition and spontaneity through
abstract compositions that take form through layering, tonal variations, and free gestures,
creating open and mutable images that shift according to the viewer’s gaze, in an intuitive
dimension that resonates with the photography of Romina Calini, where each image
originates from an immediate response to reality. Light and atmosphere transform the
photographic act into a personal perception rather than a simple registration of the visible
world, moving between inner experience and a sensitive interpretation of their
surroundings.
The theme of waiting runs through the work of Paolo Cristiani, who observes airports,
hotels, and transitional spaces as suspended environments, almost detached from time:
his images transform the experience of contemporary travel into a rarefied dimension
where architecture and human presence coexist in silent balance.

A maneater has wreaked havoc on earth since time immemorial, luring men to their deaths. However, a complicated relationship between her and a hunter soon sends them on an emotional downward spiral like a cat and mouse game across time.
Inspired by the Southeast Asian folklore of the Penanggalan, Here is part of Chong Tze Chien’s ongoing research and exploration on the intersection of traditional Southeast Asian puppetry, The Finger Players’ puppetry methodology, and the martial art Silat.
This work-in-progress showcase comprises two parts – a presentation of the story and a dialogue session between the creatives and audience after the presentation.

Venice | June 19 – July 03, 2026
Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello, Venice
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association, is delighted to welcome you to the opening of CONSCIOUSNESS. As the second chapter of the ANIMA MUNDI ART FAIR 2026, this exhibition brings together a diverse array of global artists during the 61st Venice Biennale. Hosted in the historic heart of the city, the event gathers a dynamic intersection of painting, photography, and performance, inviting a worldwide audience to explore the depths of contemporary creative research. The opening day will be on June 19, at 06:00 PM.

ANIMA MUNDI is the vital energy that flows through everything, the subtle force that connects all forms of existence, from the natural to the artificial, from the visible to the invisible. It is the living pulse of the world, the rhythm that sustains transformation, coexistence, and renewal. Plato expressed his thoughts about ANIMA MUNDI in the Timaeus, describing the universe – “this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence… a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related”.
Today, this ancient vision returns with renewed urgency: ANIMA MUNDI is not just a metaphysical idea, but an intuitive recognition of the invisible energy that flows through every form, natural or artificial, allowing the planet to live, evolve, and transform. It is the hidden network that sustains ecosystems, connects human and non-human entities, and balances life across time and matter.
How does this universal energy manifest itself today? We invited artists, designers, and architects to take part in a collective exploration of ANIMA MUNDI, investigating the subtle correspondences between soul and body, humanity and nature, organic and synthetic worlds, wild landscapes, and urban architectures.

Crosscurrents: Masterpieces of Mughal, Safavid, and Ottoman Art from the Musée du Louvre
2026-06-19 10:00 - 2027-01-24 19:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM), 1 Empress Place, 179555, Singapore
From the 16th to 18th century, three great empires – the Mughals, Safavids, and Ottomans – shaped a vast and interconnected world across Asia. This period marked the height of their influence, even as European expansion reshaped global trade and politics. Within and between these empires, artists produced works of remarkable beauty that projected authority and gave visible form to power.
This exhibition presents one hundred masterpieces from the Louvre, drawn from royal collections and later acquisitions. Southeast Asian objects from ACM’s collection are interwoven throughout, bringing these traditions into dialogue and revealing the crosscurrents that connected distant regions.

In the works of Amira Yaakoubi, the female body becomes a site where memory and
desire continuously intertwine: through layered compositions and expressive gestures, her
painting gives shape to figures suspended between strength and vulnerability,
transforming the image into a reflection on identity and the female condition. A related
sensibility emerges in the photographic practice of Maciej Max Dominik, who reduces the
body to its essential form through black and white imagery and a rigorous control of light,
in which each photograph seems to strip away every superfluous element, allowing
movement and presence to surface in a dialogue where the body never appears fixed or
definitive, but rather constantly shaped by emotional and perceptual transformation.
Nadine Collado, instead, develops a practice driven by intuition and spontaneity through
abstract compositions that take form through layering, tonal variations, and free gestures,
creating open and mutable images that shift according to the viewer’s gaze, in an intuitive
dimension that resonates with the photography of Romina Calini, where each image
originates from an immediate response to reality. Light and atmosphere transform the
photographic act into a personal perception rather than a simple registration of the visible
world, moving between inner experience and a sensitive interpretation of their
surroundings.
The theme of waiting runs through the work of Paolo Cristiani, who observes airports,
hotels, and transitional spaces as suspended environments, almost detached from time:
his images transform the experience of contemporary travel into a rarefied dimension
where architecture and human presence coexist in silent balance.
In Conrad Schirmann’s painterly research, depth becomes a generative force from which
abstract landscapes slowly emerge from matter itself; built through layers and sudden
openings, his chromatic surfaces evoke contemplative states and inner dimensions.
The photographs of Charlotte Stoffels conclude this journey through images that preserve
fragments of time, subtle details, and delicate atmospheres. Her gaze focuses on a
discreet and unconstructed beauty that reveals itself within the intervals of everyday life in
a perpetual research for the invisible and the imperfect, where the vision of ANIMA MUNDI
fully emerges as a subtle network of connections between perception, memory, and
human experience.
CONSCIOUSNESS offers a cohesive journey through contemporary visual practices,

The Shape of Us Exhibition
2026-06-21 10:30 - 2026-07-05 20:00 (Indian/Maldives) | Oevaali Art Gallery, 10 Bussorah St, Singapore 199488, Singapore, 199488, Maldives
The Shape of Return exhibition on 21 June to 5 July, 2026, brings together fifteen Maldivian artists in a single, distilled narrative moving through myth, oceanic memory, ecological fragility, longing, and ultimately, return. The works now gather not as separate pieces, but as chapters in a shared epic.
The Maldives is a place the world thinks it knows: turquoise, pristine, suspended in paradise. The Shape of Return looks beneath that surface: at ancestry, craftsmanship, folklore, environmental vulnerability, and the ongoing negotiation between tradition and modernity in a small island nation shaped equally by story.
Presented collaboratively by Suvãsthi, Oaga Art Resort, and Oevaali Art Gallery, this exhibition situates Maldivian contemporary art within a broader regional conversation, while remaining firmly rooted in its oceanic heritage.

Of Light and Matter
2026-06-26 - 2026-07-11 | Art Seasons Gallery, 50 Genting Lane, Cideco Industrial Complex #03-02, Singapore, Singapore, 349558, Singapore
Of Light and Matter explores the relationship between light, materiality, and the natural world through a diverse collection of paintings, mixed-media works, and sculptural forms. The exhibition brings together artists whose practices are rooted in observation, transformation, and reflection, inviting viewers to reconsider how we perceive and connect with our surroundings.

Nature is never merely a backdrop in these works. Mineral crystals pressed into paper, mirrors casting full spectrums of colour, figures reaching toward streaks of light breaking through storm clouds, and landscapes distilled into rhythmic patterns all reveal the subtle interplay between physical matter and intangible experience. Through their distinct artistic languages, the participating artists explore themes of renewal, resilience, memory and wonder.

The exhibition brings together nine contemporary artists from Singapore, China and Japan, each offering a unique perspective on the relationship between light, materiality and the natural world. Participating artists include Daiki Nishimura, Karina D. Simon, Kim Xu, Wang Jiang, Yin Chua, Zhang Qiao, Zhang Yihan, Zhang Ziheng and Zhu Feng.

The exhibition is presented by Y Art Project in collaboration with Art Seasons Gallery. Through this partnership, the two galleries share a commitment to supporting contemporary artists, fostering artistic exchange and creating meaningful opportunities for public engagement with the arts.

Meet At Eye Level
2026-06-26 10:00 - 2026-06-28 18:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Glasshouse, 136 Neil Road #01-01, Singapore, Singapore 088865, Singapore
Meet at Eye Level centres on our encounters with animals, those who share our daily lives, and those that live quietly within us.
Through ceramic and illustration practices, the showcase invites visitors to consider how shifts in posture, rhythm, and attention shape the way we relate to those around us.
Across the works, artists approach the theme from both outward and inward directions. The ceramic works focus on shared rituals of care, revisiting moments of dining through hand-built vessels. The illustrations turn inward, where the fragmented perspectives of horses reflect the complexities of identity and our ongoing search for self.
Meet at Eye Level invites viewers to adjust their stance and discover new ways of encountering animals, both beside us and within us.
