As Singapore celebrates 60 years of independence, it is time to look back and commemorate the contributions of the Chinese community in shaping the nation’s evolving cultural landscape. To honour this cultural legacy, this exhibition pays tribute to 60 individuals who have left an indelible impact on Singapore’s arts and culture sector.
Over the past six decades, these pioneers, leaders, and visionaries from across the six fields of academia, commerce, literary arts, media, performing arts and visual arts—had shaped and continue to shape Singapore’s artistic and cultural life through their works and influence.
Though no longer with us, these 60 individuals have paved the way and allowed cultural torchbearers who came after them to blaze new trails by “stand(ing) on the shoulders of giants”. In doing so, we hope that they have inspired today’s and tomorrow’s generations to find new ways to dream and to make their own marks on the local arts and cultural scene.
