Celebrating sustainability through art

i Light Singapore 2024 (iLSG 2024) is taking on the theme of Cyclical Nature, inspired by the colour green and the concept of sustainability.

The festival will showcase 17 interactive artworks by 25 local and international artists, all exploring the potential of everyday objects through restoration, repurposing, and re-designing.

i Light Singapore highlights at Marina Bay

At the main festival grounds in Marina Bay Sands, don't miss Spin Me a Yarn by Studio Vertigo from the United Kingdom. This installation features massive yarn balls intertwined with its surroundings, highlighting the fashion industry's contribution to global pollution.
