SINGAPORE, 10 September 2024 – Celebrate and relive your memorable school-going days at the fifth edition of REMIX: SINGAPO人 Youth Takeover by Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC). The centre’s annual youth-centric festival will be held from 18 to 27 October 2024 and offers a unique experience for visitors young and young-at-heart to take a walk down memory lane.

Themed “Back to School”, SCCC’s Concourse will be transformed into a school canteen with food and drinks stalls and fun activities to celebrate every student’s favourite school period – recess time. Visitors can also look forward to exhibitions, workshops with local influencers (KOLs), games and dance performances.

One key highlight of REMIX: SINGAPO人 Youth Takeover is the Cardboard Classroom exhibition by local cardboard sculpture artist, Bartholomew T, in collaboration with students from Singapore Polytechnic. This whimsical recreation of a classroom features giant cardboard sculptures such as a 3-metre tall Graduation Bear, a 4-metre long Paper Aeroplane and an Eraser See-Saw, creating multiple photo spots for visitors. Each sculpture also incorporates touches of local Chinese elements such as childhood songs and idioms. In addition, the exhibition encourages youths to pen their thoughts and express their hopes for a cleaner and greener planet.

(Note: In keeping with the theme of the exhibition, all the cardboard exhibits will be repurposed at the end of the event as decorative pieces.)

According to Alvin Tan, CEO of SCCC: “With REMIX: SINGAPO人 Youth Takeover, we hope to provide an opportunity for youths to experience and enjoy Singapore Chinese culture while offering them a platform to showcase their diverse talents. In doing so, we hope that youths who participate in our festival will enjoy themselves, connect with their peers, build a sense of community, and be sufficiently motivated to want to be part of our local Chinese arts and culture scene.”

Other highlights of REMIX: SINGAPO人 Youth Takeover include the much-anticipated annual street dance competition RE·MIX The Dance 2K24 where individual youths will battle to live Chinese drums and showcase their moves while groups are encouraged to draw inspiration from Chinese heritage and culture in their dance showcase. Visitors can also look forward to giveaways from 18 to 20 October 2024 onsite, more details will be announced on SCCC social media platforms.
