About the event
What are our shared experiences as a nation—and what are our hopes for the future?
This exhibition invites you to explore these questions through the eyes of preschool children.
Hello Future: Sharing Our Journey Together is part of the Think! Contemporary Preschool programme, presented by Singapore Art Museum (SAM) in collaboration with 24 preschools across Singapore—a significant increase from the eight schools that were involved in the previous edition.
Through this programme, contemporary art becomes a gateway for young children to explore and make sense of the world around them. The children were introduced to exhibitions at SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, including the Learning Gallery and Seeing Forest by Robert Zhao Renhui, Singapore's representative at the Venice Biennale 2024. These artworks presented issues of our time and reflect the themes of Singaporean identity, community and our changing environment.
In response, the children began to see Singapore as not just a country, but a shared space full of stories, memories and possibilities. Guided by their teachers and inspired by contemporary art, the children channelled their understanding into expressive artworks and stories.
Join us and see how our youngest voices view our past, present and future: imagining Singapore as a community where we share, care and create together.
