Passage reimagines Singapore’s history as a port city, through the perspective of ceramic bowls, since the beginning of Singapore’s maritime trade history. Developed by a team of Year 4 and 5 Visual Arts, Literary Arts and Music students from School of the Arts Singapore (SOTA), Passage was inspired by objects found in the Asian Civilisations Museum, including ceramic bowls from the Tang Shipwreck, as well as iconic blue porcelain and Peranakan ceramics. The colourful motifs and delightful patterns within each bowl playfully showcase Singapore’s metamorphosis from a trading port to an independent city. Generations of Singaporean stories are retold as different pairs of hands pass these bowls on, from one person to another, symbolising the rich yet immeasurable history of Asia.
