Last updated 1 September 2026
Shaping Hearts @ Punggol Digital District
This year, Shaping Hearts invites you to do more than just look at art. We’re inviting you to step into the world of artists with disabilities — to discover their stories, experience things from different perspectives, and be part of the journey.
Through art, play and hands-on experiences, audiences can get closer to the artists and explore what it means to see, hear, feel and move through the world differently.
Come curious. Come ready to play. Come as you are.
What to Expect
Explore 4 IMMERSIVE ZONES — Rhythm, Texture, Visual and Motion Playground — where fun, inclusive activities bring audiences closer to artists with disabilities through play, while offering a glimpse into different experiences of disability.
