Festivals Unlocked is an exhibition that brings new perspectives to six age-old Chinese festivals – Chinese New Year, Qingming, Duanwu, Zhongyuan, Mid-Autumn, and Winter Solstice. Each festival and the values they embody are brought to life through a locker, inviting students to “unlock” surprising origins and practices behind each cubicle, some of which are distinctive to Singapore.
Beyond legends and fun facts are intimate, true stories contributed by students bring a diverse understanding of how each festival is celebrated both in Singapore and by Chinese Singaporean households.
This exhibition is presented by Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, Nan Chiau High School, and Nanyang Girls’ High School.
