Singapore Art Week 2026 22.01.2026 — 31.01.2026

About The Programme

STPI is pleased to participate in this coming Singapore Art Week with presentations at ART SG and S.E.A. Focus, as well as the inaugural launch of The Print Show & Symposium Singapore. With these three highlight events, STPI celebrates local and regional contemporary art through the mediums of print and paper.

At ART SG, STPI spotlights Singapore’s representative to the 2026 Venice Biennale, Amanda Heng, alongside four Cultural Medallion recipients, Chua Ek Kay, Goh Beng Kwan, Han Sai Por and Ong Kim Seng.

Heng’s socially engaged practice revolves around themes of identity, memory and gender politics. At STPI, she incorporated her ethos of audience participation by weaving personal narratives from collaborators into her print works.

Works by Chua, Goh, Han and Ong revisit familiar themes in their respective practices. Collectively, the presentation comments on Singapore’s rapid urbanisation through the lens of each artist—from nature and city life to nostalgia.

Also at the booth are works by three acclaimed South Asian artists—Prabhavathi Meppayil, Shambhavi and Hema Upadhyay.

At S.E.A. Focus, STPI spotlights a solo showcase of works by Filipino husband-and-wife duo Alfredo and Isabel Aquilizan. Their works unpack the symbolic associations imbued in the balikbayan cardboard box, an object deeply significant to the Filipino diaspora. Reworked into structures and outlines resembling houses and ships, the Aquilizans’ STPI works punctuate their wider exploration of memory, displacement and community.

Back at STPI, the inaugural edition of The Print Show & Symposium Singapore will open on 22 January, running concurrently with Singapore Art Week. Staged in collaboration with leading international galleries, artists, thinkers and curators, the programme includes an expansive group exhibition featuring works by Louise Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama, Rirkrit Tiravanija and more, complemented by a dynamic forum for talks and conversations.
