'Here & Elsewhere' Exhibit

Explore "Here & Elsewhere," a community art exhibition presented by Sing Lit Station and Migrant Writers of Singapore, from Jan. 18-25, 2026, at Visual Arts Centre. Open daily from 12 PM to 7:30 PM, the exhibition showcases over 60 works by more than 40 artists, including poetry, collage, painting, textile, and mixed-media pieces. Created over the course of a year through shared workshops, the collection reflects on belonging, memory, and the lives built in Singapore alongside memories carried from far away.

Visitors can participate in the DIY, participatory spirit of the exhibition by contributing their own words and images, furthering the conversation of what it means to exist both here and elsewhere. The opening programme on Jan. 18, 2026, from 1 PM to 2 PM includes poetry readings, a curators’ talk, and refreshments, while the closing programme on Jan. 25, 2026, from 6 PM to 7 PM features poetry readings. RSVP is required for the opening programme.

Selected works will also be available for adoption via donations to Sing Lit Station, supporting ongoing migrant writing programmes. This exhibition provides a unique space to witness and celebrate the creativity and stories of diverse communities in Singapore.
