The Substation Neighbourhood Project
The Substation Neighbourhood Project is a concerted place-making effort to engage organisations and groups within the Bras Basah Precinct to think about art and the future of The Substation. It is an attempt to build networks with organisations and communities around The Substation.

The Substation
Wake is an exhibition which creates a constant and immersive experience throughout The Substation, without the restriction of a singular space. Visitors are invited to explore various parts of The Substation to view artworks created by students from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.
Each artwork draws on the quirks and peculiarities of The Substation space while questioning and hypothesising the life and non-existence of the arts space.
The artists viewed The Substation as a living, breathing entity with its own organs and its own history, full of un/fortunate events. The works presented are a form of representation of past stories and their speculation of The Substation’s future.
In this walking tour, artist Cheo Chai-Hiang will take participants through his own memory lane, sharing his “love-hate affairs” with some of the institutions within the Bras Basah Precinct, starting from The Substation.
