Curated by Lead Curator Hunn Wai and Assistant Curator Eian Siew, the pair are joined by renowned design curator and author, Maria Cristina Didero as the Global Perspectives Advisor.
Following the success of the Future Impact showcase series from 2023 to 2025, this all-new exhibition concept explores Singapore as a living prototype nation, continuously evolving, optimising and future-proofing against global challenges through the potential of design.
