🖼Towards Happiness, Prosperity & Progress: Reflections on the Singapore Spirit

🗓 Till 7 dec
📍 The Private Museum

TPM brings together 60 Singaporean and SG-based artists in profound reflection of SG spirit. Title draws from closing words of National Pledge. In this exhibition, “happiness, prosperity, and progress” are not fixed destinations but open questions. What do these words mean in 2025, and how do they resonate in our daily lives?

Shaped by myriad of curatorial perspectives by six curators, exhibition unfolds as artistic conversations. Some works reflect on belonging, care, and vulnerability; others explore histories, stories, and names that shape how we understand ourselves. Everyday culture, sightseeing, humour, and local codes appear alongside more universal expressions of identity and memory. Themes of loss and reconnection surface too, asking what it takes to feel present again. Elsewhere, ideas of home, virtue, and lived experience open space for multiple ways of being Singaporean.
