for the people, by the people
When you close your eyes and think of something that you love, what does the world look like in your head?
Some of us see abstract colours in motion,
Some of us see our loved ones,
Some of us see historical moments play out on the street we grew up on.
Whatever it is, let’s go there together.
Within the context of this mural, “I want to go to there” represents our collective imagined future of Kampong Glam, as we strive to create meaning and identity within the bustling streets of this heritage gem.
'I want to go to there' is one of the first and largest collaborative murals in Singapore. In their latest creative challenge, amc asia! brings together 22 local creatives and students from different experiences and walks of life to co-create a vibrant visual placemaker that will shine the spotlight on the quieter side of Kampong Glam. This project sets out to kickstart the conversation on reinventing heritage and culture, and how we can find ways to weave them into our lives.
