About the event
Step into the shoes of a 10-year-old as you explore Worlds Around You: A Think! Contemporary Primary School Exhibition. Full of imagination and curiosity, these young students look beyond the surface and delve into the stories that lie within and around them. Discover how they interact and make sense of the different worlds behind everyday life, while sharing their voices through contemporary art.
Worlds Around You is the 12th edition of the Think! Contemporary programme, presented by the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) in partnership with CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace, Geylang Methodist School (Primary), Haig Girls’ School, Mayflower Primary School, St. Anthony’s Primary School and Xinghua Primary School.
