Synopsis

In 2015, Neo Kim Seng launched My Grandfather's Road as a personal project to reconnect with the people and places of his past. Over time, the project grew with new iterations, uncovering new stories and forging fresh connections.

My Grandfather's Road—Ten Year Series 2015–2025 reflects the project’s evolution over a decade.

Featuring a mix of forms and medias—photographs, artifacts, books, music, videos, and a new photomontage—the exhibition traces its development.

Complementing the showcase are live readings in English and Cantonese, activations and video screenings.

A programme of 60 Connections – At Home and Afar, a year-long season of Singapore stories and international collaborations in celebration of SG60.
