Siapa Nama Kamu? Art in Singapore since the 19th Century

“Siapa Nama Kamu?” means “What is your name?” The inaugural exhibition of the DBS Singapore Gallery poses this question, inviting visitors to consider how art may relate to issues of self and community, and what it means to look at Singapore through its art.

Siapa Nama Kamu? weaves together a rich and captivating narrative of artworks in a broadly chronological sequence, covering Singapore’s art history from the 19th century to the present day. Drawing on close to 400 works, it explores the influences and practices that have shaped and transformed Singapore art. Each artwork provides insights into why and how an artist responded to his surroundings and circumstances. Taken as a whole, the wide range of artworks reflects the complexities involved in telling this extensive story.

Venue: National Gallery Singapore, DBS Singapore Gallery

Opening Hours: Mon – Thurs 10am – 7pm, 27 – 29 Nov & 4 – 6 Dec 10am – 11pm
