About this event

To the untrained eye, a statue is a material object—wood, stone, or a plaque of gold-leafed words. But to the artisan and the devotee, it is a vessel. We begin by exploring the materiality of the divine, from the fierce silhouettes of legendary Warriors to the poised elegance of Civilians and the symbolic power of the Zodiac animals

Learn about the origins of popular gods and goddesses, the heroic tales of folk heroes, and the moral lessons embedded in their stories

The Storyteller : Once consecrated, a statue carries its story for centuries The Family Archive: Discover how these figures serve as protectors and how their "histories" are handed down as heirlooms A Fading Legacy: We’ll address the sobering reality of the decline of this craft in Singapore
