Southeast Asia's first official graffiti Hall of Fame is located in Singapore's Kampong Gelam.
The iconic street art experience now includes tours and workshops to re-experience Kampong Gelam, Singapore’s urban art and culture precinct.
Kampong Gelam is keeping the visitor experience fresh with a slew of new neighbourhood art programming. Set against the historic and vibrant backdrop of Kampong Gelam, from its street art-lined alleys, traditional businesses to iconic cultural landmarks, visitors can re-experience the precinct with activities themed around urban art and home-grown artists.
Working closely with businesses and offbeat tour operators, One Kampong Gelam has curated four unique urban arts-themed adventures.
4. Self-Guided Audio Tour
If you prefer to do things at your own place, enjoy the Self-Guided Audio Tour (free) produced by Mama Magnet. The art programming agency was involved in the making of the Hall of Fame @ Kampong Gelam. For instance, the 12-minute tour is a cheat sheet to identifying symbols found in each artist’s work, assisting listeners to recognise unique styles of Singapore-based artists.
