6 October 2021 – October Programmes for SAM’s “The Gift”

We’re looking forward to these Singapore Art Museum programmes in October, as part of The Gift! Read on for more details.

What do pandas and art share in common? They both require special care! In Collection and Connection: The Giant Panda and The Power of Cute, Singapore Art Museum and Wildlife Reserves Singapore share insights on the protection of art versus wildlife, panda mania and cross-cultural exchanges. Happening on 21 October from 8 -9pm, sign up and join this online talk for free at https://bit.ly/SAMTheGift-Panda

We’re also looking forward to Still Somehow, It’s Illusions We Recall. Running from 4 October – 4 November, it features the premiere of 4 feature-length films by renowned directors like Anthony Chen and Apitchatpong Weerasethakul. Jeremy Chua, the curator of the Singapore Art Museum’s film programme for their latest exhibition, “The Gift”, will provide pre-screening introductions to each film.
