Housed in the former Supreme Court building, the UOB Southeast Asia Gallery features over 300 artworks that trace shared artistic impulses across Southeast Asia. Beginning in the mid-19th century, the exhibition navigates Southeast Asia’s art history as an ongoing encounter with the new, as artists across the region negotiate the meaning of art and seek to reinvent vernacular expressions and aesthetics. Presented largely chronologically and interspersed with key turning points in artistic sensibilities, the exhibition also identifies how art is inextricably linked to the region’s turbulent social and political history. 
The exhibition owes its title to Chairil Anwar, one of Indonesia’s most cherished poets. In his 1948 poem Krawang-Bekasi, Chairil Anwar lamented the massacre of villagers by Dutch colonial troops in West Java, giving vent to the desire for national independence at the time. This line can also be said of the experience of many artists in the region, caught between manifesto and dream, personal and political. 
The curatorial narrative explores four themed locations in roughly chronological order, each of which critically examines common artistic impulses in the region during each period: Authority and Anxiety, Imagining the Nation and the Self, Performing the Nation, and Redefining Art.

Singapore 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙡 𝘿𝙖𝙮 ♫&bull; *&uml;🌏 The smallest Universal Studios 📍𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙚 opens at 10 o&#39;clock, arrives at 9:50, queues for a few minutes to slip into the park, it is very convenient not to have security check, there are really many fewer people than in China, children leave the park at 6 pm and return to the hotel to swim ～ Every project queues are almost 5-20 minutes, much faster than Beijing. So no need to buy Usutong! Easy to visit [666], almost all projects have been played again, mummy roller coaster 🎢 we brushed the second time, the family is bold

Located in the north of Singapore, Singapore Wildlife World is one of the best tropical rainforest zoos in the world. Managed by the Wildlife Conservation Group, it has four parks: Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Safari, Singapore Bird Park, and Rainforest Adventure Park.
Singapore Zoo is well worth a visit. As one of the top ten zoos in the world, its open design, rich animal species and unique ecological experience make it an ideal choice for family travel and nature lovers.

Night Safari

It is also very interesting to visit the zoo at night. I thought it was a complete black light, but there was still a little light. The elf performance at night was also wonderful. Unfortunately, I was a little tired after a day of running, and the light show was not seen; and I took the tour car and didn&#39;t take the trail.

Skyline slope slide, experience scalping! From the top of the Inbio Mountain in Sentosa, the child took the slide and flew down the 650-meter runway from the height of the 12-story building. The speed was controlled by him, which was both exciting and safe. There are 4 slides to choose from, and the child chose the green line with more curves and called directly. After sliding to the foot of the mountain, take the sky chair back to the starting point, the hanging chair overlooks Sentosa and the Singapore city skyline, beautiful. In the evening, you can see the beautiful scenery of the sunset and experience the romance of the &quot;setsun flyer&quot;. Children are still not full of fun, highly recommended to parents and children, is a must-play project in Singapore!
