See Tanjong Pagar neighbourhood in a new light through a trail of lively art installations and discover its eclectic blend of old and new.
Across the public spaces between Outram Park MRT and Singapore Art Museum’s current location at the Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Port/raits of Tanjong Pagar showcases the dramatic transformations of the district over the decades, through a series of public artworks by six artists and collectives: Aki Hassan, Divaagar, Space Objekt, Grace Tan, Zen Teh and Isabella Teng.
By drawing attention to the complexities of urban life in contrast to the industrial and economic impacts that defined the written history of this district, the commissioned works in Port/raits of Tanjong Pagar suggest slowing down, taking in alternative perspectives of the vicinity, and discover the softer side of the neighbourhood, which is a testament to Singapore’s transition into a metropolis.
Event period: 29 April 2023 – 9 March 2025
