Look Up, Slow Down and Pause Here is a bimonthly series of trails exploring the intersections between public art and a contrasting field of interest. Discover the art of slow and mindful looking, guided by individuals responding to The Everyday Museum’s ongoing public art commissioning series—Port/raits of Tanjong Pagar: Encounters with Art in the Neighbourhood and Singapore Deviation: Wander with Art through the Rail Corridor—through their own professional practices. This series intends to create fresh perspectives on the ways we view the world.

10am – 12pm
Meet at SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark
39 Keppel Road, Level 3
Everybody follows the same route, yet each person is drawn to something different.
How can walking help us reconnect and rediscover our relationship with the city?
Inspired by the practices of dérive and psychogeography, this walking photography activity by Aaah Studio encourages you to embark on a spontaneous urban exploration, guided by fixed start and end points. Allow the urban currents to steer your course. As you stroll through the vibrant streets, your camera becomes your companion, capturing not only sights but also the essence of the city’s hidden stories. Find the beauty in the unnoticed, the charm in the overlooked, and the magic in the mundane. Each click of your camera freezes a moment that tells a tale. Join us on this urban expedition where photography meets exploration, unveiling hidden narratives and reimagining your relationship with the urban environment.
