Embark on a 2-hour journey that bridges urban heritage and contemporary art, as Yong from The Urbanist Singapore brings together his signature engagement style with deep knowledge of heritage and urban design—this time, with a twist. How might we forge the last-mile connection with heritage and embedded histories through stories found within public art, architecture, and the urban environment? From Collyer Quay to Shenton Way, learn about the financial heartbeat of Singapore, fondly known as the “Golden Shoe”, with Yong’s expertise in cultural geography guiding you through all six public artworks commissioned by The Everyday Museum. Learn how these artworks reveal sights and sites that lend to the continued relevance of the Golden Shoe as both memory and blueprint, a place where past stories can be traded for future possibilities. The trail includes a reflective interlude at Lau Pa Sat market, engaging your sense of taste to tie lesser-known food culture as a significant marker of time and exchange within the district. This programme is ticketed with limited slots available. Registration is required. Story Exchange is co-presented by The Everyday Museum and StoryFest as part of Story Scape, with special thanks to Lau Pa Sat.
