Singapore has not only defined what art can do in its own land but has crossed international borders to speak of its inclination towards art and its importance. Very recently, street art has gained more popularity with a fun display of museum exhibitions on the streets of Mumbai. Singaporean artists were invited to Mumbai through a collaborative initiative with not-for-profit ST+art India Foundation (a quirky way of saying “start street art”). It aimed to create a space to experience and showcase some of the brightest self-made talents of Singapore in art, music, dance, food, film and photography across Mumbai through a 3-day-festival at Sassoon Dock in Colaba.
