HERITAGE Saturday Market
5 May | 10am - 10pm
Take a walk down memory lane, as we look back and remember our art heritage. On the fourth weekend of the Arts Festival, the heritage-themed event will feature nostalgic games and pop-up stalls. Those looking for vintage wares, timeless gifts and retro fashion accessories should mark this festival market on their calendars.
Unique characteristics of our culture and heritage will be captured by three heritage push carts conceptualised by two alumni Chuan Yeo and Deric Shen. Each showcase features a local artwork in dioramas, placed in a mobile container to represent NAFA’s nomadic past in the Singapore history. In addition, visitors will also get to enjoy a sampling of movies made in the 1960s where they will be able to catch a glimpse of Singapore’s past landscapes, society and political environment.
