About WallflowersSG

‘Wallflowers: Sights & Sounds of Singapore’ is a project encouraging Singaporeans to rediscover the beauty in their everyday lives. Supported by the National Arts Council, a team of creatives from the local arts scene have gathered to contribute different facets that make up this cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Altogether, Wallflowers consists of a sound collection, a video series, music tracks created by local music producers, as well as visual art in the form of found objects and location-based art installations.

The collaborators of the Wallflowers project hope to encourage Singaporeans to pay greater attention to their daily environments and rediscover the beauty of the little things in life.
