Lizards can be found in a wide variety of environments, and most lizards are well known for their ability to shed their tail when in danger, distracting predators while they make their escape. Immersing participants in a colourful and interactive soft-sculpture environment, Hiromi Tango shares tales of adaptation and survival based on the metaphor of the lizard’s unique ability to regrow its lost tail. Brought to life with performances and art-making workshops, Lizard Tail explores the powerful potential of art-making as an agent for healing, as well as mental and emotional development.

In today’s fast-paced world, where we are inundated with information and the stresses of everyday living, we rarely take note of, or appreciate our surroundings. Calvin Pang’s Where am I encourages close observation and a sense of awareness about our surroundings, piquing our wonderment and curiosity. Sited in oft-overlooked corners of the museum, Where am I is a series of clustered mushrooms painted in vivid colours. This whimsical work attempts to illustrate how surprises come in all shapes and sizes, and can be found even in our most well-trodden routes—and the delight one experiences in making these discoveries.

Bulb-like hangings that spring back upon release; teepee tents with hanging mobiles suspended from within; textile birds flapping across trees... these are just some of the mesmerising objects that make up Wanderland by Mary Bernadette Lee. With its interactive and immersive nature, Wanderland evokes vivid memories and imaginings of our experiences with the natural environment, be it a trek through the tropical rainforest or a stroll through a park.
