ThisConnect presents ‘What Am I, If I Am Not’
Unmoored to Pandemic Waves: A Fresh Look at Singapore’s Fine‑Arts Scene
After years of tightening and loosening lockdowns, many Singaporeans have grown a little numb to the mood swings of the pandemic. With the fear of the first wave fading, one thing that’s often ignored—and yet is urgently needed—is mental and emotional wellness.
What Am I, If I Am Not ? – A Multi‑Disciplinary Power‑Move
Local social‑artist duo Hunny and Lummy have assembled a gallery of five pieces that force us to confront tough topics: suffering, courage, vulnerability, and the hard truth that we’re all imperfect. Their goal is simple but profound: to make us feel, connect, and remember that we’re not just bodies but souls demanding care.
Highlights at ThisConnect
- Exhibition Dates: Open every day from 12 pm to 9 pm “til Oct 31, 2021
- Where: Level 2, 39A Duxton Hill, Singapore 089617
- Entry: Book a slot here (or drop by—times kept free for spontaneous visits!).
Thinking about how to keep things fresh? Check out what’s planned for the upcoming weekend Sept 24‑26—even though we’re all aiming for safety, there’s still joy to be found.
Final Thought
When the next wave of restrictions rolls in, remember to support the people who bring meaning back to everyday life. The exhibition is a timely reminder that the human spirit thrives on connection, creativity, and self‑care. Visit before the doors close on Oct 31 and let the art help you rediscover yourself.
