The Covid-19 pandemic has been one of the biggest crises to hit our shores, but with crisis also comes opportunity – one for countless Singaporeans to exemplify qualities that have reinforced the Singapore Spirit.
@ProjectLionheartSG aims to highlight and champion these qualities – Hope, Duty, Compassion, Invention and Strength, and immortalise them by turning the most poignant lived experiences from the ground into art, music, films and stories.
@ProjectLionheartSG will debut its launch exhibition from 6 to 12 October at Ang Mo Kio Central Stage and continue to travel and transform heartland spaces with stories and art for the rest of the year.
Open to the public, the launch exhibition will feature a key art installation by Lee Wei Lieh (Wei) from Very Small Exhibition, a collective that creates interactive and meaningful public art. Wei will be transforming his famous LOVE light art sculpture into HOPE, which will be lit in rainbow colours. Visitors are invited to pen their own messages of hope on boards behind the art installation. There will also be an AR filter with inspirational quotes about hope for visitors to enjoy.
Beyond the art installation, the @ProjectLionheartSG debut exhibition will feature up to 20 stories that have displayed the spirit of Hope, Invention, Compassion, Duty and Strength through their actions, efforts, and deeds during one of the most challenging periods for our nation.
On the weekend, visitors will also be treated to musical performances by local artists NyaLi, Weish and Dru Chen.
