Curated by Cultural Medallion recipient Dick Lee and presented by ArtScience Museum in collaboration with mm2, this immersive multimedia exhibition will celebrate six decades of Singapore’s vibrant pop culture from the 1960s to the 2020s. SingaPop! explores how a young nation of diverse immigrants forged its unique cultural identity by drawing on music, fashion, film and art to create the national fabric of Singapore.
To mark Singapore’s 60th year of independence in 2025, this exhibition celebrates the vibrant blend of the Singaporean identity that was shaped and is continuously being shaped by the people, stories and traditions that make up Singapore’s unique identity.
SingaPop! explores Singapore’s multicultural society across five chapters, with each representing a unique element that highlights the vibrant fusion of identities that make up the ‘Rojak spirit’ of Singapore. This immersive exhibition marks Dick Lee’s debut in curating such an experience. SingaPop!, which mediates through Lee’s personal anecdotes, complemented by an eclectic mix of artefacts, music, films, multimedia installations and archival footage, connects the past, present and future of Singapore. The exhibition aims to ignite curiosity and nurture a deeper appreciation for Singapore’s rich cultural heritage, encouraging visitors to actively participate in the constantly evolving narrative of what makes up the Singaporean identity.
