Invoking thoughts of how we move across borders, see other points of view, and form connections with others. Over half of the artists will present new commissions or premiering new works.

A must-see interesting artwork is The Merlion Hotel created by Tatzu Nishi. The hotel is built around the Merlion, Singapore’s icon and managed by Fullerton Hotel.
