River Valley Tour | 22 & 28 Aug 2026 | 4.15 – 6pm & 3.15 – 5pm

Discover how art galleries sit alongside vibrant neighbourhoods. Starting at JW Projects explore the vivid yet poignant works of Weijue Wang. Using wool fibre she uses its softness to explore the possession and lack of rights in women’s gender roles through a range of mediums. Appearing sweet and soft, they are filled with traces of violence alongside their more public personas. A short walk away at STPI, experience the surreal universe of Indonesian artist Eko Nugroho. Drawing on street art, graffiti and comics, his masked figures and hybrid creatures transform everyday observations into playful critiques of identity. Grounded in everyday encounters from his residency at STPI, STRANGE MONSTER VIEW casts Eko’s wry eye to Singapore – from tourism, architecture and culture to our increasingly screen-driven lives. *This programme involves light walking, with short outdoor stretches between gallery venues.
