A marriage of word and paint, this exhibition takes you on a journey back in time, flowing through the changing tides of the Singapore River, as poets – migrant and local alike – celebrate the confluence of various immigrant peoples and the birth of a new homeland. 

The exhibition features a series of impressionistic and abstract paintings depicting the faces and places of old Singapore. Each painting is accompanied by an original ekphrastic poem composed in response to the artwork. Together, these breathe new life into nostalgic scenes from bygone times. 

Come journey with us down the river.
