Story Walk
Where Contemporary Art Meets Urban Narratives
Discover hidden stories pulsing through the Central Business District in this 2-hour experience of contemporary art, oral storytelling, responsive soundscapes and hands-on making.
Journey through three commissioned artworks from The Everyday Museum’s Momentary Pulses public art series. Guided by storytellers Cheyenne Alexandria Phillips and Laura Kee, encounter artists Catherine Hu’s A fountain when it rains, Zul Mahmod’s LOOP - The Resonance of Motion, and Finbarr Fallon’s Sweet Water. Listen to original tales written by Story Scape Creative Producer Kamini Ramachandran that give voice to everyday objects—tiles, a bell, and a pineapple—tracing their ties to Singapore’s changing landscape. These narratives are thoughtfully interpreted by artist-researcher Wong Zi Hao from Superlative Futures, who will be providing a tactile dimension to the experience. After listening to the stories, participants assume the role of archaeologists for the future, becoming storytellers themselves to engage in a collective act of speculating alternative forms of social currencies and daily rituals for the city.
Alongside these stories, experience sound artist Syafiq Halid’s soundscapes for Story Walk, which flow between storytelling points as you move through the CBD.
Story Walk transforms the CBD from a utilitarian space into a living storytelling landscape, revealing how contemporary art awakens dormant memories, rekindles forgotten connections, and makes visible the rhythms that bind us to place and to each other.
Walking Route: OUE Bayfront > One Raffles Quay > Asia Square Tower 1 > Shenton House.
Story Walk is co-presented by The Everyday Museum and StoryFest, as part of Story Scape.

The Tiles That Waited
Deep within the jungle, a family of speckled tiles meant for a house-that-never-came-to-be settle into patient sleep beneath rubber trees. For many years they learn from rain and roots until careful hands lift them into light, revealing their true purpose was never that forgotten house, but something far more wonderful.

The Bell’s New Song
Long ago, a brass bell ruled the old stock exchange, her daily voice commanding the beautiful chaos of trading floors. When silent machines replaced her symphony, she slept in darkness until a minstrel found her spirit and called her to wake. Now she sings a different song – reminding the financial district to find the rhythm beneath the race.

The Last Pineapple’s Blessing
In old Commercial Square, the very last pineapple to be sold in the marketplace carries the blessings of every fruit that came before her. As towers rise where trading posts once stood, she offers the same prosperity wishes that echoed through sixty years of commerce, proving that blessings, like pineapples, are meant to be shared.
