gems. Catch seven international films cohering to the theme of "It's Time...", providing creative explorations of time through stark documentaries and heartfelt feature films.

Mariupolis 2 (2022) is an unflinching look into the Russia-Ukraine war, filmed on a handheld camera on his second and final trip
to Ukraine before he was captured and killed by Russian forces. And in Scala (2022), witness the heyday of an iconic Bangkok theatre – both a moving tribute and a contemplation on the passage of time. For more information including the full lineup, visit perspectivesfilmfestival.com.

Then join Natasha beyond the four walls of traditional art galleries and into everyday
spaces, including the Singapore Flyer, International Plaza, 22 Orchard Road, and regional libraries.

Titled Patricia Piccinini: We Are Connected, the showcase features hyper-realistic sculptures that imagine a world where crossbreeds of animals and humans exist. Australian artist Patricia
Piccinini spent the last three decades learning about the relationship between humans and nature, and biotechnology advances. The result?

Trace the evolution of the beloved pasar malam at Lelong! Lelong! Pasar Malam in Singapore, a free travelling exhibition by the National Heritage Board. It begins at Sembawang Public Library from now till July 30, before moving on to Toa Payoh Public Library (August), Ang Mo Kio Public Library (September), Sengkang Public Library (October), and Jurong West Public Library (December). Through exhibition panels, archival photos,
sourced goods and items, as well as anecdotes from patrons and stallholders, Lelong! Lelong! Pasar Malam in Singapore brings to life the history and vibrancy of night markets past and present. Go back to the complex origins of the pasar malam, trace its rising popularity and the arrival of carnival rides, explore festive bazaars, and dig into the innovations behind modern night markets. At the end of it, engage with interactive panels and leave behind your own vision of an ideal pasar
malam. If you love to reminisce about the good ol’ days, then the National Museum of Singapore’s newest
exhibition is right up your alley. Of / On: Everyday Technology that Changed Our Lives, 1970s-2000s, will bring you back to a time when nary a smartphone was in sight. Instead, explore immersive sets built around the common spaces of yesteryear and reconnect with the gadgets that shaped the lives of people in post-independence Singapore. The experiential showcase is built around four thematic zones: Work in Progress, Hello Mobile, The Art of Living and Game On.
Together, these four zones take you from the office, to shops, and to home, each anchored by technological icons of the past. And we say ‘experiential’ because you’re free to interact with the artefacts and replicas at Off / On as well as more modern interactives that make use of unique digital and gamification elements to make the experience more engaging for visitors. As the sun starts to set, the spaceship buzzes to life. Multi-coloured lights flicker, warping the images of Tanjong Pagar Terminal reflected in the ship's silver panels. The crackle of a radio transmission floats through the air, blending with the distinctive sound of wayang music. This is Wayang Spaceship, a public artwork by local artist
Ming Wong. Designed as a travelling Chinese theatre, the stage now sits onsite at Singapore Art Museum. The unceasing trade and commerce of the container seaport form a backdrop to the hulking theatre-spaceship, which stands witness to technological progress and our place in the cosmos. After the Singapore Art Museum closes each day, the Wayang Spaceship returns to its roots as a Chinese opera theatre. Bask in a symphony of light and sound – Ming Wong has creatively pieced together scenes from Chinese opera and science fiction films from the 1950s to 1970s, to tell the story of a scholar-warrior as he moves through past, present and future. The artist also worked with Liam Morgan and Wu Ju Han to design the lightboxes, projection and soundscape to express his vision of a "Chinese opera from the future". The Wayang Spaceship will be at The Singapore Art Museum until 2024, so you have plenty of time to check it out. 20. Night SafariTake a trip to Night Safari this month because there are new additions to the wildlife encounters that may just delight you. Say hello to two new unique nocturnal mammals, the Brazilian Porcupine and grey-handed Night Monkey and the debut of Night Safari’s first walk-in exhibit for its civets. Here, guests can also explore the Leopard Trail and watch Common Palm Civets and small-toothed palm civets in their habitat. The porcupine and night monkey are part of the new mixed-species habitat that will feature other small arboreal mammals native to South America. 21. As You WerePreviously, we had Arts in Your Neighbourhood, now it is time for art in your parks! Look forward to a series of interactive and larger-than-life installations at three different parks - Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, Jurong Lake Gardens and Punggol Waterway Park. The latest addition comes courtesy of As You Were, a public art showcase commissioned by the Public Art Trust (PAT) under the National Arts Council. The showcase features works by local artists Daniel Chong, Hazel Lim, Adeline kuah, Teo Huey Ling, Ang Song Nian, Quek Jia Qi and Aaron Lim. Highlights include Daniel Chong’s quirky half-eaten biscuit and a larger-than-life paper cup telephone by Quek and Aaron Lim.

Embark on a mini adventure and hit the Tiger Trail at Gardens By The BayThe Year of the Tiger truly lives on – and you can see this in its life-sized glory at Gardens By The Bay. The park is currently hosting the largest number of life-sized tiger sculptures in Singapore as part of WWF-Singapore's AR-mazing Tiger Trail, a campaign to raise awareness of tiger conservation and environmental issues we are facing in the world today.
