Future of Multiculturalism | Not Mere Spectators Curator’s Tour & Dialogue

Imagine living in 1950s Singapore when multiculturalism was first introduced. Overnight, you might have to speak a different language, be neighbours with people vastly different from you, or recite a national pledge you’re new to. What challenges or dilemmas might arise? How would these tensions play out in your lived realities?

You are invited to step into 1950s–1970s Singapore at the Not Mere Spectators exhibition, where multiculturalism was consciously forged through policies, ground-up efforts, and the daily choices of ordinary citizens. Through art, interactives and citizen stories, Not Mere Spectators explores multiculturalism in Singapore’s formative years and challenges visitors to consciously shape Singapore’s social fabric in the years ahead.

After an exclusive tour by the Not Mere Spectators curator, unpack your reflections in a dialogue facilitated by Lepak Conversations founder Yulianna Frederika and connect history to present-day life by thinking deeper about what multiculturalism means to you, and find your place in multicultural Singapore’s ongoing story.
