Abstract

Singapore: a city of campaigns

From Sharity Elephant to Singa Lion, Two is Enough to Clean & Green, campaigns and their mascots have become a unique part of Singapore’s national heritage. Over four decades, these campaign movements have not only shaped Singapore's surroundings but also the thoughts and behaviour of the people. Promoting this fascinating social identity to a younger generation of Singaporeans, from 9th January 2013 to 31 August 2013, the National Library of Singapore, in partnership with independent art curator Alan Oei of Salon Projects, presented an exhibition titled Campaign City: Life In Posters.

Singapur: Una ciudad de campañas

Desde el elefante “Sharity” al león “Singa”, y desde “Two is Enough” (Dos son suficientes) a “Clean & Green” (Limpio y Verde), las campañas y las mascotas que las representan se han convertido en una parte destacada del patrimonio nacional de Singapur. Durante cuatro décadas, estas campañas no sólo han dado forma a Singapur sino también a los pensamientos y a la conducta de su pueblo. Con el propósito de transmitir esta fascinante identidad social a las nuevas generaciones de singapurenses, desde el día 9 de enero de 2013 hasta el día 31 de agosto de 2013, la Biblioteca Nacional de Singapur, junto con el curador de arte independiente Alan Oei de Salon Projects, organizó una exposición llamada “Campaign City: Life In Posters” (Ciudad de campañas: la vida en pósters).
