Access Showcase 2025 – common languages
The inaugural Access Showcase 2025 – ‘common languages’ speaks to the work that SAM has done over the past few years centered on ‘commoning’ through art, co-developing resources and initiatives to engage and support constituents who would have traditionally encountered barriers in going to the museum and connecting with visual art.
This includes neurodivergent individuals, those who are Deaf and Hard of hearing, visually impaired persons, and communities from various socio-economic backgrounds. Through our initiatives and engagements, SAM aims to foster a sense of shared ownership in cultivating art as a ‘language’ of care and empowerment, enabling diverse communities to connect and thrive. The plurality inherent in the title proposes this inclusive environment where differences are celebrated and interconnected.
SAM Art Dose: Performing Normal
SAM Art Dose: Performing Normal is a project featuring artists Claire Teo, Germaine Goh, Jaspreet Kaur Sekhon, Alecia Neo, Zhuo Zihao and sound designer Chong Lichuan.
Witness the process of collaboration through a showcase of images of the past participatory workshops and performances challenging societal perceptions of normalcy by examining how disabled bodies are perceived. Reflect on new ways of connecting and understanding differences and reimagine possibilities for human connection.
Performing Normal is part of Care Index, an ongoing artistic research project that seeks to understand care through movement, dialogue and collaborative practices.
This is part of SAM Art Dose which integrates art into larger conversations on wellbeing.
