Excitement abounds as interdisciplinary arts festival ARTWALK Little India kicks off across two weekends in January. There are many brand new offerings visitors can expect in this edition, such as a storytelling session that combines music and folk painting and an ambitious mural painting that stretches 70 metres long.

Visitors heading to Little India tomorrow can look forward to art performances, workshops and murals as part of an annual public art project. Now in its sixth edition, Artwalk Little India will be held on Friday and Saturday, as well as on Jan 17 and 18, as part of Singapore Art Week. It is meant to bring to life the history and traditions of Little India, as well as the personal stories of its community.

Patrick Flores, the artistic director for Singapore Biennale 2019, insists that this year’s biennale doesn’t have a theme. The title “Every Step in the Right Direction” is an invitation, an inspiration, he says; not a theme.

“I believe in certain anxieties and they don't have to become themes. Themes tend to capture, instead of release,” he explains.

Journey through the richly storied history of Little India at multidisciplinary arts festival ARTWALK Little India (ARTWALK), which returns over two weekends on 10–11 and 17–18 January 2020. Themed Passage of Time, this sixth edition offers a plethora of interdisciplinary performances, workshops and art murals to engage all of one’s senses.
