Story Scape
The Everyday Museum and StoryFest Singapore present Story Scape, a 10-day festival where public art and storytelling converge through guided trails, workshops, talks and multisensorial performances.
Unfolding alongside the launch of The Everyday Museum's new public art commissioning series Momentary Pulses: Art in the Central Business District, the festival invites audiences to interact with these public artworks and engage with them through diverse storytelling forms—oral, performative, digital and discursive. Together, they reveal fresh narratives and perspectives woven into the city's physical and cultural landscapes.
Amid the hum of the Central Business District, Story Scape peels back layers of everyday vernacular and collective memory: found objects that reveal past lives and new meanings, stories that illuminate the fragile threads of urban heritage, and soundscapes that kindle universal languages. For those who choose to look closely, uncanny encounters may also emerge along the Shenton Way stretch, throughout the month of February, rewarding those who notice them with a literary experience.
Be a part of Story Scape's offerings and experience new ways of seeing—and sensing—the city we thought we knew: https://storyfestsg.com/storyscape

Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026
Time: 7pm-9pm
Venue: SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Level 3, Corporate Office, EX-SITU
Free with registration
Join the team from Kontinentalist as they share about their process of creating A line of our own drawing, a large-scale data storytelling artwork that examines desire paths in Singapore in an attempt to plot how, why and where we walk.
Learn how the research team conducted their fieldwork in four sites across Singapore combining research and data with personal reflection as a means of storytelling to understand our world. Using a mix of Google Maps, lived experience and speculation, you will then be guided to reflect on the desire paths you encounter daily—what might they say about us and our desires?
A line of our own drawing is commissioned by The Everyday Museum, a public art initiative of Singapore Art Museum (SAM). Attendees will also get to visit the work that is on display right by the museum’s entrance at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Level 1.
Drawing on lines of desire is part of Story Scape, co-presented by The Everyday Museum and StoryFest.

Join Yong from The Urbanist Singapore and Kamini Ramachandran, Creative Producer of Story Scape, as they explore the art of storytelling across different mediums and methods. Both are storytellers who breathe life into Singapore’s spaces—one through urban trails that uncover hidden histories and geographies, the other through oral tradition that engages with heritage through performance and folklore.
In this intimate conversation, discover how contemporary acts of storytelling can bridge heritage education with creative expression, and how social media and live performance offer unique pathways to connect communities to place. Glean insights into how the personal act of noticing can transform our relationship with the city we inhabit, and how we can continually find new ways to tell its stories.

Accompanying these soundscapes, Superlative Futures introduces a responsive visual dimension that transforms RASA into a site of resonance and encounter, adapted from their own explorations grounded in the Momentary Pulses public art commissioning series.

Date: Fri-Sat, 30 Jan–28 Feb 2026
Time: Accessible at all times
Venue: Various locations along Shenton Way
Story Hosts is a month-long art, design and literary activation that transforms Singapore's Central Business District (CBD) into a living archive of stories, histories and artistic responses.
Along the Shenton Way stretch, the heartbeat of this financial centre, audiences will encounter Art Teller Machines (ATMs) placed in proximity to The Everyday Museum's latest public art commissions, designed by The Merry Men Works. By engaging with these ATMs, curious passersby will receive one of six commissioned poems by Pooja Nansi. The humble receipt that is usually tied to “transaction,” “commerce,” and “trade”—is reimagined here as a poetic barter, weaving together site, artwork and layered city stories.
Throughout the month, beyond Story Scape's 10-day engagements, Story Hosts reveals six poetic fabulations: artistic interjections that break the CBD's everyday humdrum, offering moments to pause, reflect and bring a story home.
Story Hosts is part of Story Scape, co-presented by The Everyday Museum and StoryFest, with special thanks to Studio29.
