Things To Do In Singapore: Amoeba Film Screenings, A Dinosaur Rave & More

WEEK OF MAR 16:

CATCH THE AMOEBA FILM SCREENING

After months of buzz, Amoeba — the coming-of-age feature from emerging Singapore director Tan Siyou — has finally arrived on local screens. The film follows a group of misfit girls navigating an oppressive school system, capturing the tensions of girlhood, friendship, and youthful defiance. True to its title, Amoeba moves fluidly between humour, awkwardness, and quiet introspection, capturing the emotional elasticity of growing up in contemporary Singapore. If you’ve read our previous interview with Siyou, this is your chance to see the world she spoke about come to life.

PARTY AT THE MUSEUM... WITH DINOSAURS

Raving under a dinosaur skeleton might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a science museum — but that’s exactly the premise of Dino Disco: The Last Dance, an after-hours silent disco at Science Centre Singapore.

For one night only, the museum transforms into a prehistoric dance floor, with DJs spinning curated sets while partygoers tune in through wireless headphones. The dance floor? Right beneath a towering cast of Patagotitan — one of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered.

The event also marks the closing celebration of the Dinosaurs: Extinction/Us exhibition, which wraps up two days later. It’s part of the Science Centre’s new after-dark programme, Sundown Science, designed to bring science together with music, culture, and community.

TAKE PART IN A LIFE DRAWING SESSION

Sketch the female form inside an exhibition setting at this special life drawing session organised by Art Again, presented as part of Weekend Culture for International Women’s Day. The session invites participants to draw among more than 40 works by women artists (and set within a very atmospheric 1960s apartment) — offering a moment to reflect on how women’s roles in life drawing have shifted over time, from subjects of the gaze to active participants shaping the practice as artists and models.

Arrive early to explore the exhibition, which brings together works by ten women artists who have played key roles in Singapore’s art history, before settling in for a guided life drawing session within the gallery itself. Materials are provided, though participants are welcome to bring their own tools — and their own drinks.

STEP INSIDE ARTIST LUKE HENG’S WORLD OF FRAGILE MOMENTS

Yeo Workshop presents Mechanics of the Snap, a solo exhibition by Singaporean artist Luke Heng and his first with the gallery. The show brings together a new body of oil paintings developed over the past three years.
Departing from his earlier atmospheric “non-place” scenes, Heng’s latest works feature tightly cropped compositions drawn from film stills, news imagery, and digital screenshots. By translating these fleeting images into slow, tactile oil paintings, he turns moments that feel weightless on screen into dense, material objects.

Beneath their familiar imagery — cakes, cars, swimming pools — the paintings quietly examine what happens when the systems that hold things together begin to give way.

On now till May 24, 11am - 7pm (closed on Mondays), at Yeo Workshop, 47 Malan Road, #01-25 Gillman Barracks

CATCH AN INTIMATE LIVE MUSIC SHOW

Step into To the Moon and Back, an intimate live music experience at Chaos Gallery this weekend. Set amid original local artwork, the concert reflects on the quiet ways love is felt and expressed, from romantic gestures to familial bonds.

The programme features classical pieces by Elgar, Satie, and Schumann, alongside iconic film music from Up and La La Land, performed by mezzo-soprano Priscilla Fong, clarinetist Stephanie Tan, and harpist Nigel Foo.
Paired with an exhibition by local artist Stephanie Tan, the show invites audiences to pause and reflect on love’s subtle, transformative moments.

Mar 20 - 22, 7pm & 8.30pm, at Chaos Gallery, 261 Waterloo St, #02-25 Waterloo Centre

WEEK OF MAR 3:

CHECK OUT RIRKRIT TIRAVANIJA’S NEW SOLO SHOW AT STPI

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:

STPI presents RIRKRIT TIRAVANIJA: SAY YES TO EVERYTHING, the largest solo exhibition by the internationally acclaimed Argentine-Thai artist in Singapore to date. Famous for turning everyday acts — cooking, eating, folding origami, talking — into art, Tiravanija invites audiences to take part in shared experiences that put human connection front and centre.

Across prints, editioned objects, and participatory installations spanning over a decade, the show explores migration, travel, belonging, and the ways social interaction can become art. Visitors can watch, play, eat, or simply join in — the exhibition literally turns the gallery into a stage for collaboration and experimentation.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO:
Think of this exhibition as a social experiment that you get to step inside. From sharing a meal to folding paper, every interaction is part of the work. It’s thoughtful, intimate, playful, and entirely unique to STPI.

Mar 7 - May 9, 10am - 7pm (closed on Sundays), at STPI, 41 Robertson Quay, Singapore

DROP BY YABAI YABAI’S GARAGE SALE AND FAREWELL PARTY

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:
Before moving to Tokyo, beloved fashion and textiles label Yabai Yabai is throwing one final send-off at their Singapore studio. Designer Stacy Tan is opening the doors for a Studio Garage Sale Party, where you can snag pieces from the archive — some at seriously crazy low prices.
It’s a chance to celebrate milestones, soak up the studio vibes, and grab one-of-a-kind items before the label relocates permanently. Think of it less as a farewell and more as a proper sayonara to the space that shaped Yabai Yabai.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO:
Step into the studio, discover hidden gems, and take home a piece of Yabai Yabai history. Chat with Stacy, reminisce, and soak up the energy of a space that’s been central to Singapore’s creative scene.

PICK UP SOME FASHION GEMS AT THIS MARKET

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:

Calling all fashion collectors: No Sense studio is back with a market that’s heavy on the cool - think labels like Paul Harnden, Lemaire and Kapital. In other words, brands that aren’t cookie cutter and definitely not another TikTok label.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO:

This market is basically one of those thrown by people with seriously discerning tastes, so the curation’s already been done for you, basically.

HEAD FOR THE LIBRARY’S SILENT DISCO

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:

The National Library Board flips the script on play with PRESSPLAY 2026, an arts festival that invites you to interact with creativity in unexpected ways. After a month of fringe programmes — workshops, artist residencies, and exhibitions — the main festival this Saturday turns the Central Library into an after-hours bibliotheque-discotheque. There’ll be plenty of local acts to bop to (hi Shye and Forests!), lose yourself in the silent disco, make something at craft stations, explore a curated art market, or just curl up with a book in a cosy corner.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO:

It’s one of those nights where you can show up for the music, stick around for the crafts, and leave with new inspirations, new friends, and maybe even a new favourite book — all in a library that feels completely different after dark.

 Mar 7, 5pm - 12am, at Central Library, 100 Victoria Street

CELEBRATE WOMENHOOD AT THESE LIFE DRAWING SESSIONS

WHAT IT’S ABOUT:

This March, in honour of International Women’s Day, new creative co-working space In The Boonies is exploring womanhood across time through their life drawing sessions. The first session focuses on the Mid-Century Housewife: think the quiet, unseen labour of caretaking: flowing dresses, aprons, and gentle gestures that capture nurture in its most essential form.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO:
Whether you’re a seasoned sketcher or just curious, these Saturdays offer a chill, focused morning to draw, reflect, and connect with a growing community. There’s even a limited Bring A Friend promo, so grab anyone — friends, siblings, family, or partners — and share the experience.

Sign up here.

Mar 7 - 28, 10am - 12.30pm, at In The Boonies, 65 Sims Avenue, #02-03
