Synopsis

Urban Drift captures the vibrant, complex, and ever-changing nature of Singapore's public housing in a visual interplay of density, layers, overlays, and juxtapositions of masses, volumes and flows. The art collection explores the intersection of architecture and its environment, offering a unique perspective on Singapore's urban landscape and the essence of living in the multicultural housing environment as a result of its efficient urban planning that is distinctive to the nation. The public housing flat is a symbol of community spirit, convenience, and affordability, attesting to the nation’s city planning that is both unique and envied around the world. 

The art exhibition will be presented online across social media platforms.

In conjunction with the online art exhibition, Urban Drift, a video "From District 10 to District 18" chronicles the emotional journey moving from a black and white bungalow to a HDB flat.
