In the middle of it all, a fantastical playground on the iconic spiral staircase of the Complex brought popular children’s detective series, Sherlock Sam, to life.
Commissioned by the #BuySingLit movement, OH! celebrated stories from the long-standing Bras Basah Complex through the installations. The show sought to tell the stories of homegrown book publishers and retailers in embracing all aspects of Singapore’s literary scene.
