Singapore Art Museum (SAM) is proud to present Hello Future: Sharing Our Journey Together, the sixth and largest edition of its signature Think! Contemporary Preschool programme. In collaboration with 24 preschools across the island, SAM invites audiences into the worlds of our youngest minds, seeing our past, present, and future through the eyes of a preschool child. As Singapore marks its 60th birthday, these students share their hopes for the future and stories of the past through vibrant, imaginative, 3D artworks that are inspired by exhibitions at SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark.

Following their visits to the Learning Gallery and Robert Zhao Renhui’s Seeing Forest, a project originally conceived for the Singapore Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2024, the children responded to the artworks and explored issues of our time, such as identity, community, and the environment. Their reflections take shape in a wide array of creative artworks and stories, expressing how they see Singapore not just as a place they live in, but as a shared space full of meaning, memory, and imagination.

By empowering creativity and expression, SAM’s Think! Contemporary Programme offers accessible, fun and meaningful ways for young children to engage with important questions in our times. This underscores SAM’s ongoing commitment to championing art education as a catalyst for positive social change and building a better future in our society.
