Kreatif Connections
Join us at Kreatif Connections from 29 June - 1 July to celebrate the creative collaboration and friendship between Indonesia and Singapore. Musicians, artists and craft makers from both countries will gather for a three-day extravaganza at the Empress Lawn and ACM (Asian Civilisations Museum).
This festival caps off the RISING50 celebrations - commemorating 50 years of bilateral ties between Indonesia and Singapore, which commenced last year. The name is a combination of “RI” for the Republic of Indonesia, “SING” for Singapore, and “50” for the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between both countries. #KreatifConnections #RISING50
Admission is free!
