Rediscover Little India through multisensorial artworks
It's that time of the year again when the walls of Little India are washed with new bright colours, and the district becomes even more vibrant with the celebration of the arts. ARTWALK Little India is back for its fifth edition from 18 January to 2 February, the longest run of the festival to date. The theme this year is Image and Sound of Fragrance. From wall murals to dance performances to theatrical storytelling, the artworks this year bring to life the rich sights, smells and sounds of the community.
Many of the performances and workshops are free, and the popular guided tours by Monster Day Tours have been fully booked! Not to worry, though; we took a preview of the festival highlights and our little guide can help you plan what artworks you should put on your agenda, and where to find them.
7. Little India Sound Sculptures
End your walking tour on a high note by visiting UltraSuperNew Gallery, a recently opened art gallery space with a bar and restaurant. For the festival, it’s hosting a special exhibition of artworks again integrating all the vibrant sensory experiences of Little India. Right at the door, you’ll be greeted by this majestic sculpture piece by award-winning artist Dipali Gupta. Through 3D modelling, printing and heat moulding, she captures the shapeless memories and cacophonies of Little India in unique waves and slopes.
