National Gallery Singapore, Supreme Court Wing, Level 3, Former Supreme Court Foyer
A casual platform for art advocacy, Artsplaining introduces and fosters art appreciation by engaging individuals from various industries and backgrounds who may not have direct ties to the arts, thus establishing relatability and connections between the art and non-art worlds.
Through thoughtful conversations and witty interpretations, our featured guests reflect on how the works in National Gallery Singapore relate to different industries and non-art spheres. Equal parts offbeat and accessible, this programme is perfect for anyone curious about the visual arts!
This time, Artsplaining is collaborating with the Resonates with Residency (RWR) Programme to showcase RWR artists and their creative process leading up to their final performance during the festival.
Come by to hear ArunDitha’s perspective on her residency and how it influenced the artwork that she chose as the inspiration for performance.

She has performed internationally at venues like TEDx Singapore, Wonderfruit, and The Watermill Center, and has published multiple poetry collections, including rib/cage. She also collaborates musically as lead vocalist in experimental projects Mantravine and Polymorphism.See their work at the Festival
