Join us for the free panel "Heritage Futures: Weaving Identity Through Design" on 2 Nov to hear how design can preserve and re-invent our cultural identities, and how our local heritage and traditions could be reinterpreted for the global stage. Sign up now.
In conjunction with our newly-opened intergenerational playground A Whale of a Tale, we'll also be hosting two events on 8 Nov: a HistoriaSG seminar on the iconic journey of Singapore's dragon playgrounds, and a tour of neighbourhood playgrounds around Singapore to learn the stories of these cherished childhood spaces. Find out more.
