Story Scape: 30 Jan – 8 Feb 2026
A 10-day festival of guided trails, talks & multisensorial storytelling
The Everyday Museum and StoryFest Singapore present Story Scape, a 10-day festival where public art and storytelling converge through guided trails, workshops, talks and multisensorial performances.
Unfolding alongside The Everyday Museum’s new public art commissioning series Momentary Pulses: Art in the Central Business District, the festival invites audiences into early encounters with these public artworks and to engage with them through diverse storytelling forms—oral, performative, digital and discursive. Together, they reveal fresh narratives and perspectives woven into the city’s physical and cultural landscapes, as the art trail continues to take shape over time.
Amid the hum of the Central Business District, Story Scape peels back layers of everyday vernacular and collective memory: found objects that reveal past lives and new meanings, stories that illuminate the fragile threads of urban heritage, and soundscapes that kindle universal languages. For those who choose to look closely, uncanny encounters may also emerge along the Shenton Way stretch, throughout the month of February, rewarding those who notice them with a literary experience.
Be a part of Story Scape’s offerings and experience new ways of seeing—and sensing—the city we thought we knew.
About The Everyday Museum’s new public art trail
Momentary Pulses: Art in the Central Business District
What rhythms exist in a business district where time is of the essence and moving through it demands quick decision and deft navigation?
Responding to the shifting rhythms and logics of the Central Business District, Singapore-based artists create works that slip into the spaces between buildings and pedestrian paths, offering moments for listening and reminiscence. By introducing these brief interventions into daily routines, this latest series of SAM’s public art initiative draws attention to the subtle irregularities of urban time and textures that surface when we pause.
