Hello Future: Building a Wonderland
August 17 - September 7
Free
What does a sustainable future mean to you? In this exhibition, witness the creativity of preschool children and discover the futures they have imagined!
Hello Future: Building a Wonderland is part of the Think! Contemporary Preschool programme, presented by Singapore Art Museum (SAM) in partnership with eight preschools across Singapore. As part of the programme, young children learn about the world around them through contemporary art. To develop Hello Future, children were introduced to artworks and exhibitions at SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, such as Black Forest by Cultural Medallion recipient Han Sai Por and Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey. The artworks show the impact of humans on the environment as well as the importance of living sustainably. With guidance from their teachers, they learnt how global warming has a cascading effect on our ecosystems and why they must protect the environment.
Working with their friends, families and teachers, the children used newly acquired techniques to transform found materials into artworks and stories that convey their hopes for the future.
As you explore this Wonderland created by children, uncover their whimsical ideas for building a sustainable Singapore!
