In celebration of Singapore’s 60th year of independence, Defence Collective Singapore (DCS) presented a National Day pop-up exhibition across four heartland locations, with an extended showcase that travelled to various educational institutions. Themed Our Time, Our Journey, the exhibition transformed these spaces into living galleries, bringing the nation’s story closer to the community through experiential installations, interactive builds, and storytelling elements.
Central to the showcase were 12 uniquely designed booth setups, each highlighting a distinct facet of Singapore’s journey while charting the nation’s evolution across successive vicennial eras. From graphic interpretations of architectural details inspired by past eras to interactive design and build features, the dynamic showcase invited visitors to engage with the installations and relive defining milestones that have shaped the nation.
