Synopsis

Singapore Art Week Forum 2026: FORCE · FIELDS is a one-day symposium featuring three insightful keynote conversations by local and international artists, curators, and museum practitioners. Speakers are invited to examine the systems we exist within and which we shape in turn: What forces or energies animate the contexts we inhabit? With every decision and utterance, whose interests are championed, and what is being defended? How can we “reprogramme” things to build a better future?

The Singapore Art Week Forum is a joint initiative by National Arts Council, National Gallery Singapore and Singapore Art Museum, as part of Singapore Art Week, supported by Singapore Tourism Board.

Speech-to-text interpretation and Singapore Sign Language Interpretation will be provided.
