New Life, a striking 7-metre-tall sculptural artwork by renowned Portuguese street artist Bordalo II, is currently on display at the SG50 Lattice of Gardens by the Bay. The piece depicts a critically endangered mother orangutan and her baby, and is made out an unlikely artwork material. True to the artist’s signature style, the sculpture is constructed entirely from discarded materials and industrial scraps that are collected locally in Singapore, such as tangled plastic bumpers, corrugated metal sheets, brightly colored electrical wiring, old discarded pipes, and twisted bicycle frames.
By transforming this urban trash into a vibrant, textured representation of vulnerable wildlife, the artwork offers a stark visual critique of overconsumption and a changing planet. The jagged edges of rusted iron and melted plastic brilliantly mimic coarse fur and foliage, bridging creativity and conservation to invite viewers to reflect on their human footprint while offering a poignant symbol of resilience.

If you’re looking for new IG-worthy spaces in SG, the newly opened IMBA Theatre at Gardens by the Bay is basically a playground for your camera. Forget stuffy seating and quiet hallways, this massive 80,000-square-foot space at the West Lawn is all about walking through art rather than just looking at it. The stars of the show right now are the giant, iconic bronze sculptures by Fernando Botero that have taken over the outdoor gardens. They are wonderfully round, larger-than-life, and perfect for those “monumental” scale shots.

The next time you travel on an MRT train, look up and see if you spot poems written by local poets. For a whole year starting 6 November 2025, poems in English, Chinese, Malay, and Tamil will be displayed in trains on the East-West, North-South, and Circle Lines. Poems will also be displayed on posters in train stations (until 6 May 2026) and in bulletins at bus stops (until 4 February 2026).
Poems on the MRT is a literary arts initiative by Singapore’s National Arts Council (NAC) designed to integrate poetry into the daily lives of commuters. The program achieves this by featuring selected poems and stanzas on the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) network, with the artwork displayed in locations such as inside train cabins and on station platform screens.
Feeling inspired by all that subway poetry? Now it’s your turn! Submit your own masterpiece to Poems on the MRT. Starting 15 November, you can see your words light up on the virtual poetry map for everyone to enjoy. The top three poems in each category, along with the crowd favourites, will take home cash prizes!
In December, your commute will also turn into a quest! The Poetry Hunt Competition, a massive scavenger hunt, will challenge you to spot, snap, and share photos of unique poems hidden across the MRT network. The more unique poems you find and submit, the closer you get to winning cool gear like custom stationery and bookstore vouchers. And if you manage to find every single featured poem, you’ll be entered to win the grand prize: a Kobo eReader fully loaded with Sing Lit titles!
Event period: Until 4 Nov 2026
Locations: MRT trains on the East-West, North-South, and Circle Lines; Posters in train stations (until 6 May 2026); Bulletins at bus stops (until 4 February 2026)
