The art of nostalgia
The annual PAssionArts Festival organised by the People’s Association came to a close yesterday after six weekends of arts activities across Singapore. This year, about 125,000 residents turned up at 40 arts villages in different neighbourhoods and a record-high of about 18,000 residents came together to co-create visual art installations with 80 artists. At PAssionArts Festival @ Sembawang yesterday, 3D paintings by residents of old Sembawang landmarks such as Rotherham Gate (picture), Canberra Gate, Sultan Theatre, Old Sembawang Fire Station and Andrew’s Avenue Coffee Shop were showcased. Old kampung games and traditional food were on hand to enhance the feeling of nostalgia. PHOTO: PA
