多美歌地铁站的“漫画联系”(Comic Connect)壁画星期一(1月15日)亮相,漫画以国泰大厦(The Cathay)、国家档案馆、总统府、麦唐纳大厦(MacDonald House)等多美歌一带的六个地标为素材。
“漫画联系”是SMRT为纪念成立35周年,与本地艺术家及艺术团体联手,在全岛35个地铁站展示历史壁画的合作项目。这一项目自2022年6月启动,多美歌地铁站是第23个展出壁画的站点。
这次在多美歌地铁站展出的壁画是SMRT与视觉艺术中心(Visual Arts Centre)的第三次合作,创作团队前后用时三到四个月完成。此前合作的壁画,于去年3月和7月分别在索美塞地铁站和中峇鲁地铁站亮相。
视觉艺术中心策展人及总监刘婉婷(33岁)代表创作团队说,他们的办公室位于多美歌格林(Dhoby Ghaut Green),也就是在多美歌地铁站上方,因此这个壁画对他们而言别具意义。“壁画中的元素都是我们小心斟酌挑选的。我们希望通过色彩缤纷的壁画展现历史,让新加坡人能够记住其意义,并向游客展现这里的丰富历史。”

In the Batik Introduction Handkerchief Painting workshop, participants will learn the traditional art of batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique originating from Indonesia. The workshop begins with a brief history and overview of batik, highlighting its cultural significance and various techniques. Participants will then observe a demonstration of applying wax with tjanting tools and dyeing the fabric. Following the demonstration, each participant will design and create their own batik handkerchief, applying wax to create patterns and then dyeing their fabric. The workshop concludes with a group discussion, allowing participants to share their creations and reflect on their learning experience.
