Re - Route Orchard

Curated by Singapore-based inter-disciplinary group PLUS Collaboratives led by festival directors Mervin Tan and Cheryl Sim Re-Route Festival returns with its second edition Re-Route: Orchard. First held in 2022 at Little India during Singapore Design Week Re-Route Festival is a placemaking festival that immerses visitors in an alternate storytelling of place through a collection of creative activations. This year Re-Route: Orchard brings an investigative design lens to deepen the visitor’s experience of Singapore’s famed shopping belt. 

Re-Route: Orchard themed "Be Here Now" is inspired by adaptive reuse—a concept in architecture that involves repurposing old structures for new uses. The festival showcases installations that highlight the idea of adaptation showing how design can change and respond to new needs in scales other than architecture such as programmes and behaviours influencing how we experience a place.

Taking place from Thursday 26 September to Sunday 6 October 2024 the two-week long festival will host curated experiences installations programmes and other design activations to probe topics under an overarching curatorial framework and create stops within Orchard Road that spark curiosity and explore the topic of adaptability.
