#NEVERBEFORESG

The unprecedented pandemic caused by the Novel Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has affected everyone in ways big and small. This pandemic has triggered an abrupt global standstill, with no nation spared including Singapore. As the recovery period appears indefinite, the situation drives us to re-evaluate how we live our lives while transitioning to a “new normal” as the world slowly begins to rebuild itself.#NEVERBEFORESG addresses the impact of COVID-19 in Singapore and serves as a visual documentation seen through the eyes of 87 creatives. The series of artworks captures the state of mind of the nation and its people, and is charted according to the different phases since the announcement of the Circuit Breaker (distancing) measures in Singapore. Curated by Yang Derong, and expressed in 9 immersive chapters, this presentation was inspired by the pandemic, which has pushed us to think outside of the norm to continue to be creative and innovative. The artworks and creative expressions share thought-provoking reflections and the myriad of mutual emotions that unveil hopes, fears and anxieties experienced during these challenging times. Presented on an online digital platform, #NEVERBEFORESG brings this creative visual experience to audiences in the comfort of their homes. Stay Safe + Happy + Sane
