LAUNCH

Art x Community Initiative:
Marking Punggol, Mit Jai Inn



Celebrate the launch of Marking Punggol, a bold attempt by OH! in collaboration with Mit Jai Inn, a leading figure of Thai contemporary art to initiate social change through art. A suite of 99 papier-mâché sculptures mirroring the forms of objects such as home stools have been finished in Mit Jai Inn’s iconic colourways.

With a strong desire to have audiences think more deeply about the value and function of art within our cultural landscape, the artist has proposed a unique mechanism for the dissemination of these works: rather than outright purchases, individuals pledge to volunteer their time to a charity or non-profit based in Punggol in exchange for the opportunity to collect one of them. Over one year, the project aims to generate 10,000 volunteer hours for social causes in the neighbourhood.

Step into the exhibition to encounter the 99 artworks alongside the stories of the people behind each pledge—and discover how art can bring neighbours together to make a real difference in Punggol.

Date: 14-29 March 2025
Time: 11:00am-8:30pm
Venue: The Cove, Punggol Waterway Point
Admission: Free of charge; No registration required.
Mit Jai Inn (b.1960, Chiangmai, Thailand) is a leading figure of contemporary art in Thailand. He is known for his colourful artworks that merge painting and sculpture.

Miniature Diorama Exhibition:
Dear Punggol by Esther Siah


Dear Punggol is a resident-led exhibition that invites you to look again at a familiar chapter of Punggol’s history––pig farming. Peer into a series of mailboxes to view intricate miniature paper dioramas recreating scenes from 1980s farm life, created by a resident of Punggol's last farms. These rare glimpses into everyday memories and domestic routines offer a personal lens to the narratives usually told about the neighbourhood's agricultural yet industrious past.
