Synopsis

AURA is Mandala Club's Singapore Art Week presentation's contemplative, multi-sensory programme that brings together art, technology, ritual and reflection. Curated by Deborah Lim, the series unfolds across light, sound, sculpture and discourse, featuring installations by Tuck Muntarbhorn, Samantha Lee and Kiat, alongside a public talk by anthropologist Ashley Chin and The Artling. Together, these works invite audiences to slow down and attend to the unseen forces - spiritual, technological and cultural - that shape presence, memory and connection, offering a quiet pause amid the intensity of the art week calendar.
