Synopsis

Anchored in the theme The Power in Us, Light to Night Singapore 2026 shines a spotlight on the strength of community, the richness of diverse perspectives, and the connections forged when people gather to experience and co-create art. Through a dynamic line-up of large-scale installations, projection mappings, and participatory programmes, the festival invites audiences to explore three curatorial pillars: Memory and Modernity in Dialogue, which negotiates pasts and presents; Crafting Unity from Duality, which reflects the synthesis of opposites; and From Spectator to Co-creator, which celebrates participatory and socially engaged art.

Light to Night Singapore 2026 invites all to reflect on shared histories, embrace dialogue, and celebrate the collective human spirit that has defined the festival over the past 10 years.
