Singapore is a fine city (pun) so says souvenir shirts
being sold in all tourist shops that sell souvenir items that caters to
tourists. But it is true in reality and you will hardly see nuisance graffiti on
the walls even in inner seedy alleys of
older streets in Singapore. So if it happens you see murals and street art in
Singapore, it must be legally done and with consent of the authorities.
Last week I chance upon these artworks in one of the
pedestrian tunnels along Singapore River. This pedestrian tunnel is located
underneath the bridge that separate Clark Quay and the Boat Quay. It was my
first time to pass by this tunnel since it was drizzling the time I was within
the area. I always cross the bridge whenever I pass by the area. Little did I
know there is a hidden gem inside that underpass tunnel.
Delighted to see the artworks, I did not let it unnoticed.
I took the opportunity to take pictures of the murals and use the iPhone X, to test the camera capability. Photos below were not edited.
The murals from this particular tunnel is done by
Social Creatives, a not-for-profit art enterprise. The mural they do on the
wall were explained as written in the further end of the wall.
