Have you caught some glimpses of the beautiful Fir

Have you caught some glimpses of the beautiful First Nations artwork featured in our @gardensbythebay exhibit in Singapore?

Australia First Nations Mununjali artist Kim Walmsley was commissioned to create digital artwork that encapsulates the essence of the region's cultural heritage of the First Nations People’s songlines, flora and fauna, especially for the Carnival display at Gardens by the Bay. This gorgeous artwork is showcased in many areas throughout the display, including a specially created yarning circle.

Enjoy a few snippets of Kim's art, on display in Singapore for the world to see!
