Heritage Havoc Game Sessions

Heritage Havoc Game Sessions
Date: Thursday & Friday, 28 & 29 August
Time: 2pm – 3.30pm
Free with registration

Heritage Havoc is a curatorial card game set in the NUS Baba House. As a “curator”, your goal is to acquire objects based on our real artefacts and locate them within the space of house to form your own tour or exhibition. Along the way, you will be met with discussion points that allow you and your fellow curators to share your thoughts and ideas about heritage, and challenges that can make or break your exhibition. From other players “stealing” artefacts to “havocs” which can summon floods, termites and other environmental threats that can jeopardise your objects, navigate these challenges and strategise your way into building a successful show.

Heritage Havoc is supported by the Cultural Matching Fund.

A Queer Gaze: Seeing and Being Seen
Guided by Genesis Phan
Date: Thursday & Friday, 28 & 29 August
Time: 2pm – 3.30pm
Free with registration

A Queer Gaze: Seeing and Being Seen explores how artworks and artefacts can be read through a queer lens. Moving through Radio Malaya, the Resource Gallery, and Ng Eng Teng: 1+1=1, the tour examines queerness as both a subject and a way of seeing—challenging notions of visibility, interpretation, and meaning in art.

Public Temporalities: Memory in/and Movement
Guided by Aida Nadirah Abdul Raziff
Date: Thursday & Friday, 28 & 29 August
Time: 4pm – 5.30pm
Free with registration

Public Temporalities: Memory in/and Movement examines public sculptures across NUS, reflecting on their evolving meanings as the University marks its 120th anniversary. Engaging with these works as markers of history, memory, and space, the tour considers how public art shapes our understanding of the past and present.
