  84. <p style="text-align: justify;">The Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, is an important festival for Chinese communities around the world. Originating from southern China, the festival has its early origins in the worship of the river dragon, before it became associated with the commemoration of Qu Yuan, a third-century poet and patriotic statesman during the Warring States period (475-221 BC) of ancient China.</p>
  85. <p style="text-align: justify;">CBA, in collaboration with Sun Yat-Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, will host a Dragon Boat Festival exhibition entitled “<em>Dragon Boat Festival: Of Thumping Drumbeats and Delicious Dumplings”, </em>to invite visitors to uncover the rich history and cultural origins of the Dragon Boat Festival, the significance of rice dumplings and how it is made across by different Chinese dialect groups, and how dragon boat races came about.</p>

Priced at <strong>S$148++</strong>, you can select any combination of four dishes from the a la carte menu, spanning starters, pasta, mains, and dessert, ensuring a personalised dining experience specially tailored to individual tastes and preferences.

Among them is the <strong>Aquerello Risotto</strong>, crafted with the finest Carnaroli rice aged for seven years. This luxurious dish combines creamy richness with the delicate essence of red prawn tartare, complemented by sweet peppers and black olives.

  217. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Now approaching its sixth month since its launch, Singapore’s rst (and only) Chilean South Pacific fine dining restaurant debuts an eight-course degustation menu &#8211; the Costa ($368++).Costa, its name derived from Cordillera de la Costa or the Chilean Coastal Range, shifts the focus to the marine bounty found along the rugged forested coasts in the South Pacific. While Chile is known largely for having the most arid desert in the world, Atacama, in the North and lush vineyards, the country has an extremely long coastline, 6,437 km to be exact, along the South Pacific Ocean.</p>

  219. <p style="text-align: justify;">Continuing Araya’s culinary odyssey, Chef-Partners Francisco Araya and Fernanda Guerrero take on an innovative approach to reimagining the nest sea creatures, plants and cooking techniques native to their homeland.</p>
  220. <p><a href="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Francisco-Fernanda-AspirantSG.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-68811" src="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Francisco-Fernanda-AspirantSG.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="591" srcset="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Francisco-Fernanda-AspirantSG.jpg 2010w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Francisco-Fernanda-AspirantSG-620x434.jpg 620w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Francisco-Fernanda-AspirantSG-920x644.jpg 920w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Francisco-Fernanda-AspirantSG-768x537.jpg 768w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Francisco-Fernanda-AspirantSG-1536x1074.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></a></p>
  221. <p style="text-align: justify;">Cochayuyo, large Southern bull kelp from the Chilean coast, is rendered to a briney spread in accompaniment to Pastry Chef Fernanda’s endearing bread basket at the start of the meal. Displayed to guests as a tight bundle of dehydrated seaweed that weighs lighter than it looks, the protein-rich cochayuyo has been found by archaeologists in the hearths of ancient communities in Chile. Till today, the seaweed is widely used by Chileans. Chef Francisco Araya recounts having cochayuyo in braises (it has a chewy texture when rehydrated), and it being given to teething babies to chew on.</p>
  222. <p><a href="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/La-Panera-with-Fernanda-AspirantSG.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-68806" src="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/La-Panera-with-Fernanda-AspirantSG.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="764" srcset="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/La-Panera-with-Fernanda-AspirantSG.jpg 1578w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/La-Panera-with-Fernanda-AspirantSG-620x560.jpg 620w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/La-Panera-with-Fernanda-AspirantSG-920x831.jpg 920w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/La-Panera-with-Fernanda-AspirantSG-768x694.jpg 768w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/La-Panera-with-Fernanda-AspirantSG-1536x1388.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></a></p>
  223. <p style="text-align: justify;">The second new course, Taigairai, features the choro zapato (meaning ‘shoe’ in Spanish) or the Chilean giant mussel. Native to estuaries in water with low salinity, the mollusk gets its name from its size, comparable to the average shoe size of an adult man. At Araya, the choro zapato is served raw akin to a ceviche after it is marinated in an ají amarillo sauce, absorbing the fruitiness of the yellow chilli pepper.</p>
  224. <p><a href="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Cochayuyo-Taigairai-AspirantSG.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-68812" src="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Cochayuyo-Taigairai-AspirantSG.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="591" srcset="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Cochayuyo-Taigairai-AspirantSG.jpg 1762w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Cochayuyo-Taigairai-AspirantSG-620x434.jpg 620w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Cochayuyo-Taigairai-AspirantSG-920x643.jpg 920w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Cochayuyo-Taigairai-AspirantSG-768x537.jpg 768w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Cochayuyo-Taigairai-AspirantSG-1536x1074.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></a></p>
  225. <p style="text-align: justify;">Curanto is the third addition in the Costa menu and gets its name from a pre- Hispanic cooking technique. Used by indigenous Chilotes from Chiloé Island in South Chile, an assortment of meat and seafood are wrapped in leaves then cooked in an earth oven with hot stones.</p>
  226. <p style="text-align: justify;">In Chef Francisco’s rendition, a whole abalone is wrapped in corn husk then sealed in a dough parcel made from charcoal and corn husk ashes and cooked over the fire. It is removed from its receptacle tableside for a multi-sensorial reveal. The abalone is served with two sauces, a fresh chorizo sauce and another made with the shell sh’s organs, and chicharron.</p>
  227. <p style="text-align: justify;">The Chancho en Piedra is a prelude to the Costa menu’s only non-seafood course, the Aged Ecuadorian Cacao with Pigeon Supreme (the same dish from Araya’s opening menu). A cantaloupe gazpacho with cubes of compressed cucumber is a much welcomed cold sweet and savoury palate cleanser before the last main course.</p>
  228. <p><a href="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Chancho-en-Piedra-Pigeon-Supreme-AspirantSG.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-68814" src="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Chancho-en-Piedra-Pigeon-Supreme-AspirantSG.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="682" srcset="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Chancho-en-Piedra-Pigeon-Supreme-AspirantSG.jpg 1658w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Chancho-en-Piedra-Pigeon-Supreme-AspirantSG-620x500.jpg 620w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Chancho-en-Piedra-Pigeon-Supreme-AspirantSG-920x742.jpg 920w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Chancho-en-Piedra-Pigeon-Supreme-AspirantSG-768x620.jpg 768w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Chancho-en-Piedra-Pigeon-Supreme-AspirantSG-1536x1240.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></a></p>
  229. <p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, Pastry Chef Fernanda introduces a new dessert called Lucuma. Native to the Andean Valley, the fruit, lucuma, has a starchy texture and tastes like butterscotch, sweet potato and maple syrup combined. Commonly used to flavour juices, ice cream and milkshakes, the plant has history dating back to the Incans who were found to have drawn representations of lucuma on their ceramics.</p>
  230. <p style="text-align: justify;">At Araya, the fruit takes the form of an ice cream alongside vanilla jelly, co ee espuma and caramelised rice pu s, inspired by Fernanda’s favourite bistro, Bogarin, in Santiago, Chile where luche de lucuma is sold to-go with sandwiches.</p>
  231. <p><a href="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Moqueca-Picana-AspirantSG.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-68815" src="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Moqueca-Picana-AspirantSG.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="436" srcset="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Moqueca-Picana-AspirantSG.jpg 2076w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Moqueca-Picana-AspirantSG-620x320.jpg 620w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Moqueca-Picana-AspirantSG-920x475.jpg 920w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Moqueca-Picana-AspirantSG-768x397.jpg 768w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Moqueca-Picana-AspirantSG-1536x793.jpg 1536w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Moqueca-Picana-AspirantSG-2048x1058.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></a></p>
  232. <p style="text-align: justify;">While the Costa celebrates the marine life in the region, Araya’s Andes ($298++) menu places an emphasis on the bounty of the land with favourites such as the empanada, Picaña and Moqueca courses. It includes the addition of Coral, a full vegetarian dish simulating the avours of the sea with a striking crown purple corn lattice decorated with two kinds of seaweed, caviar and rica-rica (a medicinal herb native to the Atacama desert) sauce. Underneath, a mashua espuma with crunchy quinoa.</p>
  233. <p><a href="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Private-Dining-Room-AspirantSG.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-68808" src="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Private-Dining-Room-AspirantSG.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="1186" srcset="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Private-Dining-Room-AspirantSG.jpg 1020w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Private-Dining-Room-AspirantSG-620x870.jpg 620w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Private-Dining-Room-AspirantSG-920x1292.jpg 920w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Araya-Private-Dining-Room-AspirantSG-768x1078.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></a></p>
  234. <p style="text-align: justify;">Both the Costa and Andes menu, as well as the Vegetariano ($298++) menu, are available for Private Dining Room reservations.</p>

  252. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">To kick off its 130th anniversary celebrations, Lau Pa Sat unveiled collaborations with renowned Singaporean artists today. These included a 10-metre-long heritage mural by visual artist Yip Yew Chong. In addition, there will be a launch of merchandise adorned with captivating watercolor illustrations in collaboration with local illustrator Ah Guo. The works showcase Lau Pa Sat’s rich history, and its evolution as a cherished monument in Singapore over the years.</p>
  253. <p><a href="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Visual-artist-Yip-Yew-Chong-Mural-AspirantSG.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-68797" src="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Visual-artist-Yip-Yew-Chong-Mural-AspirantSG.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="538" srcset="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Visual-artist-Yip-Yew-Chong-Mural-AspirantSG.jpg 2188w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Visual-artist-Yip-Yew-Chong-Mural-AspirantSG-620x395.jpg 620w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Visual-artist-Yip-Yew-Chong-Mural-AspirantSG-920x586.jpg 920w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Visual-artist-Yip-Yew-Chong-Mural-AspirantSG-768x489.jpg 768w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Visual-artist-Yip-Yew-Chong-Mural-AspirantSG-1536x979.jpg 1536w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Visual-artist-Yip-Yew-Chong-Mural-AspirantSG-2048x1305.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></a></p>
  254. <p style="text-align: justify;">The unveiling was timed with World Art Day in recognition of the important role that local artists play in preserving Singapore’s heritage and culture. Managed by Kopitiam, a social enterprise under FairPrice Group, Lau Pa Sat has captivated both locals and tourists alike with its wide range of local culinary delights and unique experiences.</p>

  256. <p style="text-align: justify;">Lau Pa Sat also launched a new 130th anniversary logo that pays homage to its rich history in Singapore’s hawker scene, blending imagery of hawker culture with its iconic architecture, including its Victorian cast iron columns, ornate leaves, and octagonal layout. The anniversary logo can be seen around Lau Pa Sat, on staff uniforms and anniversary merchandise.</p>

  258. <p style="text-align: justify;">Lau Pa Sat aims to provide you with unique experiences that fuse all things local, art, and music, with hawker centre dining. Beyond its culinary offerings, Lau Pa Sat serves as a platform to uplift local businesses and the local arts community by showcasing their works. Within its premises, Food Folks features up to 100 local brands, including the popular Fossa Chocolate. Lau Pa Sat’s collaborations with local artists and musicians underscore its commitment to cultural enrichment and meaningful community engagement.</p>
  259. <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>“We believe in the power of art to bring to life stories and memories. We collaborated with Yip Yew Chong and Ah Guo to express Lau Pa Sat’s history and vibrancy through the years in their artwork. We hope that this will spark the community to gather and have conversations around our heritage, food culture and shared experiences in the space,”</em> shared <strong>Pauline Png, Director of Customer Innovation and Marketing, Food Services.</strong></p>
  260. <p style="text-align: justify;">Yip Yew Chong’s heritage mural showcases his unique approach of taking viewers on a visual journey through time, with depictions of Lau Pa Sat’s past as the first Telok Ayer Market that opened in 1824, transitioning into the bustling lunchtime destination it became in the 90s. This innovative narrative technique showcases Yip&#8217;s mastery in capturing the nuances of the past, and establishes a profound connection with his audience, fostering a shared exploration of culture through art.</p>

  291. <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>&#8220;After 15 remarkable years as one of Bali&#8217;s most stunning bars, hosting visitors annually from all corners of the globe, Rock Bar is embracing a fresh visual identity that reflects both our loyal patrons and resonates with a new generation of guests,&#8221;</em> shares <strong>Giordano Faggioli, General Manager of AYANA Resort</strong>.</p>
  292. <p style="text-align: justify;">The new visual identity of Rock Bar incorporates warm tones in the rock, evoking the fiery energy of a sunset and complementing the gorgeous hues painting the sky, while the splash of blue represents the endless ocean surrounding Rock Bar, aligning the branding with the natural beauty that surrounds Rock Bar location. <em>“The transition from the previous logo was driven by a desire to resonate with the evolving preferences of our sophisticated and contemporary audience. Moreover, the font chosen for &#8220;Rock Bar&#8221; aims to reflect a sleeker, more modern aesthetic, further enhancing our brand&#8217;s image,”</em> adds Giordano.</p>

  294. <p style="text-align: justify;">Elegantly carved into low-lying rock formations below the stunning limestone cliffs of Jimbaran Bay, Rock Bar emerged in 2009 as one of Bali&#8217;s pioneering cliff-side establishments. Its journey to prominence has been recognized by numerous accolades, including CNN naming it one of the world’s best hotel bars in 2020, and Travel+Leisure declaring it one of the world&#8217;s coolest hotel bars. Today, Rock Bar has expanded its capacity to accommodate up to 880 guests simultaneously.</p>
  295. <p style="text-align: justify;">In addition to being a global leader among sunset entertainment destinations, Rock Bar also offers an exceptional dining experience that showcases both AYANA Resort’s dedication to culinary excellence and the breathtaking backdrop of the Indian Ocean.

  297. <p style="text-align: justify;">The unveiling of Rock Bar&#8217;s new visual identity signifies a new chapter in AYANA&#8217;s commitment to setting the global standard for entertainment destinations. Following Rock Bar&#8217;s success, its sister establishment, After Rock, a state-of-the-art nightclub, will be inaugurated in June 2024. &#8220;<em>AYANA Resort continues to redefine hospitality in Bali, striving to provide unparalleled experiences for our guests.

  361. <p style="text-align: justify;">Created by Executive Chef Seumas Smith and Executive Pastry Chef Yong Ming Choong, the menu is inspired by the luminance of Swarovski’s jewels. Vibrant colours and shapes are presented through thoughtfully selected ingredients and flavours, enhanced with SKAI&#8217;s focus on fresh produce, presentation, and culinary techniques. Guests will be in awe of both the savoury and dessert masterpieces, each of which is not only visually stunning but also offers the perfect balance of flavours.</p>

  363. <p style="text-align: justify;">Savouries begin with <strong><em>Mortadella, Cherry, and Salsa Verde</em></strong>. Here, a brioche is infused with cherry, topped with sliced mortadella cheese, and finished with a classic salsa verde aioli. The pink hues evoke the brand’s colours, and the presentation is enhanced with a nasturtium leaf sourced from the hotel’s own Aquaponics farm. The <strong><em>Scottish Salmon Rillette Kueh Pie Tee </em></strong>features smoked salmon rillette with dill crème fraîche, glazed with cream cheese dusted with silver powder, creating a stunning canapé. The <strong><em>King Crab, Yuzu, and Sorrel </em></strong>stand out as Chef Seumas’s preferred choice from this menu, showcasing fresh Japanese king crab mixed with a black pepper emulsion and yuzu gel, served on an octagon-shaped savoury sablé and garnished with pretty chrysanthemum flowers.</p>

  365. <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Blue Fin Tuna, Ponzu, and Caviar </em></strong>put the focus once again on the produce available at SKAI, featuring blue fin tuna topped with N25 Caviar, which Chef appreciates for its texture and flavour profile. It is served with crème fraîche and garnished with gold leaf and blue flowers. The <strong><em>Coronation Smoked Chicken, Mango Chutney &amp; Coriander </em></strong>comprises a yellow saffron coffin bun stuffed with smoked chicken, classic coronation sauce, house-made mango chutney, and garnished with chervil and pentas flowers. For the final savoury offering, expect a delicious <strong><em>Brie Cheese Quiche</em></strong>.</p>
  366. <p style="text-align: justify;">The desserts are equally exquisite works of art, drawing inspiration from Swarovski’s brand icon, shapes, and colors. The <strong><em>Hazelnut Praline Yuzu Vanilla Swan Choux </em></strong>is a beautifully handcrafted piece, presented to resemble the brand’s distinct elegant swan. The choux is filled with a delicate balance of hazelnut praline and yuzu. With the <strong>Golden <em>Raspberry Rose Mascarpone Octagon Sabl</em>e</strong>, Chef Ming presents fresh raspberries with rose mascarpone cheese atop a fruit tartlet, finished with a pink diamond-shaped jelly.</p>

  368. <p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong><em>Swarovski Pistachio Cherry Almond Genoa </em></strong>features sandwich buns made with a green-tea infused almond sponge, filled with cherry marmalade and vanilla chantilly cream. Next, presented as whole cakes and sliced tableside, are the stunning <strong><em>Yuzu Blackberry Vanilla Tea Cake </em></strong>and <strong><em>SKAI Chocolate Entremet</em></strong>. The former is a vanilla sponge cake filled with yuzu cream and fresh blackberries, adorned with the Swarovski brand logo in its iconic shade of pink, and served with rosemary-infused chantilly cream. The latter is a vibrant yellow diamond-shaped cake featuring a tropical coulis of passion fruit, mango, papaya, and coconut, topped with 64% dark chocolate mousse, hazelnut crunch, and tastefully garnished with white chrysanthemum tea flowers. Completing the treats are Chef Ming&#8217;s signature <strong><em>Madagascar Vanilla Scones</em></strong>, served with Devonshire cream, and strawberry marmalade.</p>
  369. <p style="text-align: justify;">To round off the experience, guests can opt for a Mocktail aptly called &#8220;Zimmy Snipper&#8221;. Banana Bols, elderflower syrup, citrus and tonic is mixed and poured over block ice and garnished with a Banana Leaf and yellow octagon – inspired by Swarovski brand shape. A version of the beverage is also available with Bacardi Rum as its base (priced at an additional $10).</p>

  465. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">From 4 May, ArtScience Museum is hosting a special season that explores the life and work of extraordinary Mexican artist and cultural icon, Frida Kahlo. Titled <i>Frida Forever</i>, the season provides you with an opportunity to look beyond the surface of one of the most influential figures in the art world and step into the vivid narrative of her life through two distinct exhibitions and an extensive slate of programmes.</p>
  466. <p><a href="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Frida-Kahlo-The-Life-of-an-Icon-AspirantSG.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-68726" src="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Frida-Kahlo-The-Life-of-an-Icon-AspirantSG.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="475" srcset="https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Frida-Kahlo-The-Life-of-an-Icon-AspirantSG.jpg 1920w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Frida-Kahlo-The-Life-of-an-Icon-AspirantSG-620x349.jpg 620w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Frida-Kahlo-The-Life-of-an-Icon-AspirantSG-920x518.jpg 920w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Frida-Kahlo-The-Life-of-an-Icon-AspirantSG-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.aspirantsg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Frida-Kahlo-The-Life-of-an-Icon-AspirantSG-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></a></p>
  467. <p style="text-align: justify;">Known for their vibrant colours and rich symbolism, Frida’s works of art capture her personal experiences and reflect on her passions, struggles and beliefs across the decades. Primarily painting self-portraits, she often used her own image to engage with powerful topics, breaking boundaries with her raw and unapologetic depiction of womanhood, pain, death, the human body, and identity.</p>
  468. <p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Frida Forever </i>looks beyond the canvas to trace her life story and pivotal moments that transformed her and inspired her work. You will encounter the many facets of Frida’s life story and celebrate the significant impact she continues to have not just on art, but across fashion, popular culture, feminism and more, even 70 years after her passing.</p>

  470. <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>“As part our Year of Extraordinary Women at ArtScience Museum, we are delighted to announce Frida Forever – a new season dedicated to the life and legacy of an artist who has left an indelible mark on the world. At the centre of the season is Frida Kahlo: The Life of an Icon, an immersive biographical exhibition that celebrates Frida&#8217;s life story through interactive installations, cutting-edge technologies, and 360-degree projections. Laid Bare: Frida’s Inner World is a companion exhibition curated by ArtScience Museum. It takes a more intimate look at the person behind the icon, revealing the way that Frida&#8217;s medical conditions helped shape who she was. It brings science into Frida’s story, detailing her medical journey, her relationship with doctors, and the physical conditions she lived with. It is a unique and unexpected angle on the life and work of one of the most extraordinary women of the modern era. Frida made women’s experiences a serious subject for art, but her artwork transcends gender. Personal and profound, Frida’s work commands attention from all audiences – men, women and children alike. Frida Forever will show how she lived with authenticity, courage, and creativity, encouraging all of us to do the same,”</em> said <strong>Honor Harger, Vice-President of ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands.</strong></p>

  472. <h4><b>Experience Frida Kahlo’s life in technicolour </b></h4>

  477. <h4><b>Revealing Frida Kahlo’s Inner World </b></h4>
  478. <p style="text-align: justify;">Offering a different perspective to Frida’s story is <i>Laid Bare: Frida’s Inner World </i>– a new exhibition curated by ArtScience Museum with the support of Cristina Kahlo Alcalá, the great niece of Frida Kahlo.</p>
  479. <p style="text-align: justify;">It explores Frida&#8217;s life through an unconventional lens — her medical history, delving into her rarely seen archives to present an intimate portrayal of her relationship with her body, her medical ailments, and the profound impact these struggles had on her artistic work.</p>
  480. <p style="text-align: justify;">The exhibition includes close to 40 photographs, diary pages, contemporary artworks, and medical records. It includes exclusive interviews with Cristina Kahlo Alcalá speaking about how she acquired these medical documents from the American British Cowdry Hospital where Frida Kahlo spent long periods of time. These interviews will also reveal the person Frida was beyond the persona she became known for.</p>
  481. <p style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, <i>Laid Bare </i>features interviews with doctors and medical experts from Singapore, ranging from an orthopedic surgeon to an anesthetist and a clinical psychologist, who provide contemporary diagnoses of Frida’s medical conditions, discussing the kinds of physical and mental challenges she would have experienced. Through these interviews, as well as a carefully curated collection of archival material, records, and photographs, the exhibition offers a narrative that intertwines the fragility of the human condition with the resilience of the human spirit.</p>
  482. <p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Laid Bare </i>sparks dialogue about the intersection of health, identity, and artistic expression, showing that despite a lifelong battle with chronic pain, Frida Kahlo took great joy in life, had a daring and vivacious personality. and found her own way of overcoming life’s adversities.</p>

  485. <h4><b>Enter Frida’s realm of imagination </b></h4>
  486. <p style="text-align: justify;">Following a serious accident, Frida’s life was marked by periods of convalescence, confined to her bed. These periods in her life form the backdrop for an extraordinary virtual reality experience that will be presented in ArtScience Museum’s VR Gallery for <i>Frida Forever</i>.</p>
  487. <p style="text-align: justify;">Produced by Layers of Reality, <i>Exquisite Corpse </i>allows you to enter Frida’s paintings. This VR experience takes inspiration from Frida&#8217;s aesthetics, her vibrant colour palette, and the textures of her paintings. Starting from the very place where Frida spent much of her time – her bed – viewers are transported into her room, as if convalescing alongside the artist herself. From there, the journey extends beyond the walls of her room, seamlessly blending computer-generated imagery, 360-degree filming, and specially shot footage to immerse viewers in the dreamlike landscapes and defining elements of Frida&#8217;s work.</p>
