CHAGEE Teadore Singapore: 9th Anniversary Merch & Tear & Win

Hi Huneybees,

You know how I can never resist an adorable collectible, especially when there's a little story behind the character?

Well, CHAGEE's 9th anniversary celebrations are giving fellow collectors like me something else to get excited about!

Last week, we were already treated to a whole lineup of delicious new launches, from tea-inspired Geelato and artisan bakes to the refreshing BO·YA Mango Jasmine Green series. But just when we thought CHAGEE had spoiled us enough, there's another surprise waiting to steal the spotlight. And this time, it's not something to eat or drink!

Meet Teadore, CHAGEE's adorable green elephant mascot, who's getting a uniquely Singaporean makeover!

And the best part? He's not just here to look cute. There's a whole collection of limited-edition merchandise for us to bring home, too! Looks like our next CHAGEE visit might satisfy more than just our tea cravings. Our inner collectors are in for a treat as well!

---

Meet CHAGEE's Adorable Elephant Mascot - Teadore!

Before we get into the merchandise, here's a little background on the character. Teadore isn't just a random cute elephant created for CHAGEE's anniversary.

The character draws inspiration from the Ancient Tea Horse Road, the historic trading routes where tea travelled across mountains and borders, with elephants among the animals associated with transporting goods.

His green appearance reflects CHAGEE's tea heritage, while his leaf-shaped ears and signature 'C' detail connect him to the brand.

It's always discovering these these little details in character design that brings a collectible to live. After all, what makes a mascot memorable isn't just how adorable it looks, but also the story it represents. And for Singapore, Teadore has received a rather special transformation.

Give him a Merlion makeover, of course!

Teadore here takes on a soft blue, Merlion-inspired appearance, complete with a lion head, a curled white tail and a CHAGEE cup in hand.

And as someone who enjoys collecting toys and merchandise with a local twist, I think this is the sort of collaboration that makes a souvenir feel a little more special. Rather than simply putting a Singapore label on an existing character, CHAGEE has given Teadore a distinctly local identity.

Now, the big question is: which version of Teadore should we bring home?

CHAGEE 9th Anniversary Merchandise List

Alongside the anniversary celebrations, CHAGEE has introduced a collection of limited-edition merchandise, ranging from practical everyday accessories to adorable character collectibles. And while some items are available through special drink bundles, others can be redeemed as complimentary gifts with qualifying purchases.

Here's a closer look at what's available.

Anniversary Merchandise	Promotion
9th Anniversary Sticky Screen Cleaner Pack	Free with 1 Large BO·YA Mango Jasmine Green Milk Tea + any 1 Large Fresh Milk Tea
9th Anniversary Printed Glass Goblet	$10.90 with any 1 Large Fresh Milk Tea
9th Anniversary Everyday Carryall	$20.90 with any 1 Large Fresh Milk Tea
9th Anniversary Plush Hand Towel	$17.90 with any 1 Large Fresh Milk Tea

*All merchandise is limited-edition. Prices shown are promotional bundle prices or redemption offers, as indicated. Availability and additional promotional conditions should be confirmed with CHAGEE.

The Teadore Plush Charm & PVC Keychain Have My Attention!

Now, if we're talking about collectibles, I think the Teadore Plush Charm ($23.90 bundle) and Teadore PVC Keychain ($20.90 bundle) deserve a little extra attention.

With bag charms and character accessories becoming such a fun way to personalise our everyday essentials, these two feel particularly appealing. The plush charm sounds like a cute addition to a handbag or backpack, while the PVC keychain could be a fun little reminder of CHAGEE's ninth anniversary.

And because the Singapore-exclusive Teadore has that Merlion-inspired design, there's an extra local touch that makes the character stand out.

Of course, the collector in me is also eyeing the Teadore Wrist Cushion ($15.90 bundle). After all, who says collectibles can't be practical too?

A Blind Box Surprise for CHAGEE Fans

There's also a 9th Anniversary Fridge Magnet Blind Box, available as a complimentary gift when you purchase one Large BO·YA Mango Jasmine Green Milk Tea and any one Large Fresh Milk Tea.

Now, Huneybees, you know the words blind box tend to catch my attention!

There's something fun about the anticipation of opening a mystery collectible, although I always remind myself to enjoy the surprise rather than chase every possible design.

For those who prefer something more practical, the anniversary range also includes a glass goblet, everyday carryall, plush hand towel and sticky screen cleaner pack.

CHAGEE Tear & Win Returns Nationwide from 15 to 17 November!

And if the merchandise isn't enough to tempt you, CHAGEE is bringing back its popular Tear & Win promotion, this time across participating stores islandwide!

From 15 to 17 November 2026, customers purchasing selected large-sized drinks will receive a special Tear & Win cup with a reward hidden inside.

The participating drinks are:

• BO·YA Mango Jasmine Green Milk Tea

• BO·YA Jasmine Green Milk Tea

• Peach Oolong Milk Tea

• Da Hong Pao Milk Tea

Every participating Tear & Win cup comes with a prize, ranging from vouchers and merchandise to bigger rewards, including Apple iPhone Duo and Dyson hairdryers.

What started as a store-opening tradition has now become part of CHAGEE's nationwide anniversary celebrations.

Of course, the special cups are available in limited quantities each day, so participation is subject to availability at the respective stores. I think there's something rather fun about adding a little surprise to an everyday tea purchase. You never know what might be waiting beneath that tear-off section!

A Little More Than Just Tea

What I find interesting about CHAGEE's ninth anniversary celebrations is how the brand is exploring different ways to connect with its customers. From transforming its signature teas into Geelato and artisan bakes to creating a mascot with a uniquely Singaporean identity, there's a growing lifestyle element to the CHAGEE experience.

Now, whether you're visiting CHAGEE for your favourite cup of tea, hoping to win a prize or simply looking to add an adorable elephant to your collection, there's certainly plenty happening this November.

So, Huneybees, which anniversary collectible has caught your eye?

Would you choose the Teadore Plush Charm, the PVC Keychain or take your chances with the Fridge Magnet Blind Box?

And if you haven't caught up with CHAGEE's latest food launches, don't forget to check out my earlier post on the new CHAGEE Geelato, artisan bakes and BO·YA Mango Jasmine Green series.

Snoopy Christmas 2026 Singapore: Plushies, Photo Spots & PEANUTS Fun at Frasers Property Malls

Hi Huneybees,

Christmas is getting extra adorable as Frasers Property Singapore is bringing Snoopy and the beloved PEANUTS gang to its malls, and there's quite a bit for fellow kidults to get excited about!

From 13 November to 31 December 2026, participating Frasers Property malls will be celebrating the festive season with PEANUTS-themed decorations, interactive activities, character meet-and-greets and exclusive merchandise.

But instead of simply shopping for Christmas presents, how about making a little festive memory of your own? Go customising your very own Snoopy Cupcake Plushie, hunting for PEANUTS stamps around the mall or snapping a Christmas photo with a giant inflatable Snoopy!

Now that's the kind of Christmas outing I'd happily add to my calendar...

---

Create Your Own Snoopy Cupcake Plushie at the Snoopy Bakehouse

Okay, fellow collectors, this one deserves our attention! Instead of picking a plushie straight off the shelf, what if you could personalise one with its own little outfit and accessories?

At the Snoopy Bakehouse, shoppers can redeem an exclusive Snoopy Cupcake Plushie and customise it with sweatshirts and keychains. The thought of Snoopy dressed in a tiny sweatshirt is already making this activity sound dangerously tempting!

There will be two Snoopy Bakehouse locations, each offering different designs and redemption requirements.

The Centrepoint: Four Snoopy Designs to Choose From

Dates: 20–22 and 27–29 November 2026
Time: 12pm–8pm
Location: Level 1 Atrium

Shoppers can choose from four Snoopy Cupcake Plushie designs and personalise them with accessories.

To participate, spend $200 in a maximum of two same-day transactions to redeem one plushie, or $300 to redeem two.
*Redemptions are limited to the first 600 qualifying shoppers across the six activation days.

Waterway Point: A Little Snoopy Treat

Dates: 27–29 November and 4–6 December 2026
Time: 12pm–9pm
Location: Basement 2, The Cove

Over at Waterway Point, shoppers can choose from two Snoopy designs and customise their plushie with sweatshirts and keychains.

Spend $100 in a maximum of two same-day transactions to redeem one plushie. This experience is limited to the first 300 qualifying shoppers across six activation days and cannot be stacked with other rewards.

Do note these dates too to snag up some of your favourite Peanuts merchandises and fulfill your Christmas shopping list!

Snap a Christmas Photo with a Giant Snoopy!

If there's one thing I love about the festive season in Singapore, it's seeing familiar places transform with Christmas decorations.

And this year, Snoopy and friends are getting their own festive spotlight!

From 16 to 29 November 2026, The Centrepoint will feature a 3.5-metre-tall inflatable Snoopy at its Level 1 Atrium. Imagine standing beside a Snoopy that's more than twice your height! That's definitely going on my Christmas photo checklist.

There will also be four PEANUTS-themed photo opportunities along The Centrepoint's Level 1 exterior walkway from 13 November to 31 December.

But the festive fun doesn't stop there.

Other participating malls will be dressing up for Christmas, too!

Mall	What to look out for
The Centrepoint	Giant inflatable Snoopy and four PEANUTS-themed photo spots
Waterway Point	Larger-than-life PEANUTS-themed photo opportunities at The Cove
Causeway Point	3.5-metre Christmas tree
Century Square	4-metre Christmas tree
Tampines 1	4-metre pink Christmas tree

There will also be complimentary Snoopy and friends Meet & Greet sessions at selected malls, with 50 passes available per session on a first-come, first-served basis.

Whether you're planning a family outing or a Christmas date, these festive displays sound like a lovely excuse to get out, explore and take a few photos together.

Hunt for PEANUTS Stamps at Tiong Bahru Plaza

Here's another activity that caught my attention, especially because I love experiences that turn an ordinary outing into a little adventure. From 20 November to 31 December 2026, Tiong Bahru Plaza will be hosting a PEANUTS Christmas Stamp Trail.

Instead of simply walking around the mall, shoppers can go on a mini treasure hunt to complete a special PEANUTS Christmas Postcard.

Here's how to join the fun:

1. Spend $20 in a single same-day transaction at Tiong Bahru Plaza.

2. Redeem a PEANUTS Christmas Postcard at the Level 2 Concierge.

3. Hunt down four PEANUTS stamp stations around the mall.

4. Complete your postcard and return to the Concierge to redeem a PEANUTS-themed enamel pin or PVC coaster.

The stamp stations are located at the Level 1 Main Atrium, Level 1 entrance near The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Level 2 in front of KKV and Level 3 Kopitiam.

The final reward will be given out at random, so there's a little surprise waiting at the end of your hunt!

Bring Home Limited-Edition Snoopy & PEANUTS Collectibles

Now, we can't talk about a Snoopy Christmas without mentioning the merchandise, can we? Besides the festive experiences, Frasers Property Singapore will also be introducing limited-edition PEANUTS shopping rewards.

Here's a quick look at the festive rewards:

Dates	PEANUTS reward	How to redeem
1–31 Dec	PEANUTS Travel Packing Cubes	Spend $150 in 3 same-day, same-mall transactions

There will also be PEANUTS merchandise available at pop-up stores in participating malls, featuring collectibles and lifestyle products for fans.

Personally, the travel packing cubes sound rather appealing, especially for those of us who enjoy travelling. And with Snoopy and Woodstock on a foldable shopping bag, even grocery shopping might feel a little more cheerful!

Rediscover the Joy of Sending Christmas Postcards

From 13 November to 31 December 2026, visitors to The Centrepoint can write personalised messages on Snoopy-themed postcards available at the Level 3 Concierge.

Complimentary postage stamps will be provided upon completion, allowing shoppers to mail their festive greetings to friends and loved ones.

There's something so personal about receiving a handwritten message, isn't there? Maybe this Christmas is a good opportunity to bring back that little tradition. After all, sometimes the simplest gestures are the ones we remember most.

---

More Festive Surprises While You Shop

Beyond the Snoopy-themed activities, Frasers Property Singapore is also adding a few extra surprises to the Christmas shopping experience.

Play Merry Little Surprises on the FRx App

Shoppers can participate in a PEANUTS-themed digital game through the FRx app by checking in daily or searching for hidden QR codes among the festive decorations at participating malls.

There are 10 hidden QR codes around each mall, and players can use clues from the app to locate the correct daily code.

Each daily check-in or successful scan earns a chance to reveal an instant reward, including bonus FRx Points or entries into the Suzuki e VITARA lucky draw.

Stand a Chance to Win a Suzuki e VITARA

From 13 November 2026 to 20 February 2027, shoppers can earn a lucky draw chance with every $50 spent in a single in-mall transaction, with additional chances for every $50 spent.

One lucky winner across nine participating malls will drive away with a brand-new Suzuki e VITARA electric car, with the draw taking place on 26 February 2027.

The car will also be showcased at selected malls, alongside a bauble-guessing contest offering Suzuki premiums worth over $2,000 in total.

The winner of the guessing contest will also get to enjoy the Suzuki e VITARA for seven days.

Extra Rewards for FRx Members

For those planning their year-end shopping, here are a few more promotions worth keeping in mind:

All redemptions are subject to availability, while stocks last, and the relevant terms and conditions.

I think what makes this Christmas celebration appealing is that it's not just about shopping or collecting merchandise. It's about the little experiences that come with them.

Whether it's customising a Snoopy plushie, hunting for stamps, posing with festive decorations or writing a Christmas postcard, these are activities that invite us to slow down and enjoy the moment.

For those of us who grew up with PEANUTS, seeing these familiar characters again brings a little nostalgia. But the fun doesn't have to stay in our childhood memories. We can still enjoy these playful experiences today, whether we're spending time with family, going on a Christmas date or simply treating ourselves to something adorable.

As for me, the Snoopy Bakehouse and PEANUTS Christmas Stamp Trail are definitely going on my festive checklist! I love that both activities involve more than simply buying something. There's a little creativity, a little adventure and, of course, a collectible to remember the experience by.

And who knows? Maybe this Christmas, I'll be adding another Snoopy to my growing collection!

So, Huneybees, which activity would you pick? Would you customise your own Snoopy Cupcake Plushie, go hunting for PEANUTS stamps or head straight for the limited-edition merchandise?

CHAGEE Turns 9! Singapore Gets First Taste of Geelato, New Artisan Bakes & Mango Jasmine Tea

Hi Huneybees,

Who says you have to choose between tea and dessert when you can have both? 🍵🍨 If you're someone who enjoys a good cup of tea but also has a soft spot for sweet treats (guilty as charged!), then CHAGEE's latest announcement might just give you another reason to plan a little tea date!

As CHAGEE celebrates its 9th anniversary this November, the tea brand is treating Singapore to more than just its signature freshly brewed teas. We're talking about handcrafted tea-inspired gelato, a new selection of artisan bakes and a tropical twist on its popular BO·YA Jasmine Green Tea.

And here's something worth celebrating: Singapore is the first market outside China to welcome CHAGEE's Geelato! With so many new flavours to discover, it looks like our next CHAGEE visit might turn into a full dessert adventure!

---

CHAGEE Geelato: Your Favourite Tea, Now in a Scoop!

I've always enjoyed seeing how familiar flavours can be reimagined into something completely different, and CHAGEE's new Geelato certainly has me curious.

Imagine your favourite cup of jasmine tea transformed into a creamy scoop of gelato. That's essentially the idea behind this new handcrafted dessert range, which takes inspiration from CHAGEE's signature teas while introducing a few playful flavour combinations.

For tea purists, there's BO·YA Jasmine ($6.90), which combines CHAGEE's signature jasmine tea with premium milk for a creamy dessert with delicate floral notes.

Matcha lovers aren't forgotten either! The Signature Matcha ($6.90) promises a smooth texture with that familiar bittersweet matcha finish.

But if you're feeling a little adventurous, there are several other flavours worth exploring.

Seven Geelato Flavours to Discover

Flavour	Price
BO·YA Jasmine	$6.90
Signature Matcha	$6.90
Pistachio	$7.90
Yunnan Pu-er Caramel	$7.90
Caramel Butter Pecan	$7.90
Bergamot Pink Guava	$6.90
Yuzu Jasmine	$7.90

Personally, Yunnan Pu-er Caramel has caught my attention. Made with ripe Pu-er tea from Yunnan and seasonal macadamia nuts, it sounds like an interesting combination of earthy tea notes, caramel sweetness and nuttiness.

And then there's Bergamot Pink Guava, which brings together sweet, tangy guava and fragrant bergamot. It sounds like a refreshing contrast to the richer flavours.

For those who love a little texture with their gelato, you can also customise your scoop with toppings such as pistachios, pecans, dried figs, cranberries, crushed Biscoff or chocolate curls for an additional $2.

The only catch? You'll have to make a special trip for these scoops because Geelato is currently available at just three CHAGEE outlets in Singapore:

• orchardgateway

• Pagoda House

• One Raffles Place

Geelato is available for in-store purchase only.

---

Tea Time Gets Sweeter with CHAGEE's New Artisan Bakes

Now, what's a good cup of tea without something delicious to nibble on?

Alongside Geelato, CHAGEE has also introduced nine artisan bakes, thoughtfully created to complement its tea offerings.

And what I find interesting is that several of these aren't simply conventional pastries. They actually incorporate tea flavours into the bakes themselves!

Take the Da Hong Pao Mochi Bun ($4.90), for example. With its roasted tea aroma and stretchy mochi centre, it sounds like a lovely combination of fragrance and texture.

Then there's the Peach Oolong Choux Puff ($4.90), featuring a light, crisp pastry filled with peach oolong-infused cream.

As someone who enjoys chewy desserts, I'm particularly intrigued by the White Peach Oolong Butter Rice Cake ($4.90 for two pieces). The combination of buttery rice cake and delicate peach oolong notes sounds like something I'd happily pair with an afternoon cup of tea.

What's on the CHAGEE Bakes Menu?

Artisan Bake	Price
Da Hong Pao Mochi Bun	$4.90
Matcha Tart	$6.20
Brown Butter Cookie	$3.90
Black Sesame Tart	$6.20
Red Bean Mochi Matcha Bun	$4.90
Pecan Jasmine Snow Cookie	$3.90
Peach Oolong Choux Puff	$4.90
White Peach Oolong Butter Rice Cake (2 pcs)	$4.90
Original Butter Rice Cake (2 pcs)	$4.90

With prices starting from $3.90, these bakes offer another way to enjoy a little afternoon indulgence without committing to a full café outing.

The new artisan bakes are available at 37 CHAGEE outlets across Singapore, excluding Resorts World Sentosa (WEAVE), Rivervale Mall, Junction 8, Wisteria Mall, Changi Airport Terminal 2, JEM, Bedok Mall, 18 Cross Street and Tampines 1.

A Tropical Twist: BO·YA Mango Jasmine Green Arrives on 6 November!

Of course, it wouldn't be a CHAGEE anniversary without something new for tea lovers!

Launching on 6 November 2026, the new BO·YA Mango Jasmine Green series gives CHAGEE's signature jasmine tea a tropical makeover.

Available in both Milk Tea and Brewed Tea versions, the series combines four jasmine teas from Yunnan with Small Tainong Mango from Hainan, known for its rich fruity aroma.

BUT! Instead of simply mixing mango flavour into the finished drink, CHAGEE uses a fruit-infusion process that introduces fresh mango purée to the tea leaves. The leaves are subsequently dried at a low temperature to help retain the fragrance of both the tea and fruit, before freeze-dried mango pieces are added to bring out even more mango character.

I'm curious to discover whether the jasmine or mango takes centre stage in the finished drink. Would you go for the creamy Milk Tea version or the lighter Brewed Tea?

---

So, What Is On Your CHAGEE Must-Try List?

With so many new additions, I think the hardest decision might be choosing what to order first!

For me, the Yunnan Pu-er Caramel Geelato, Da Hong Pao Mochi Bun and BO·YA Mango Jasmine Green Milk Tea sound like an interesting combination for a little tea-and-dessert date.

It's always fun when familiar favourites are given a creative twist, and I'm looking forward to discovering how CHAGEE's signature tea flavours translate into desserts.

And the anniversary celebrations don't end here! CHAGEE has more surprises lined up for November, including special anniversary merchandise and a nationwide Tear & Win promotion from 15 to 17 November.

I'll be sharing more about those celebrations in Part 2, so keep an eye out, Huneybees!

In the meantime, tell me: Which Geelato flavour would you try first? 🍨

[Coming Soon] Lost & Found: How We Remember Invites Us to Revisit Our Memories at Singapore Art Museum

Hi Huneybees,

Memories are funny things, aren't they? Some stay with us for years, while others slowly fade, only to resurface when we hear a familiar song, recognise a scent or stumble upon an old photograph.

But have you ever wondered what happens to the stories that are never recorded, or the memories that gradually disappear as the world around us changes?

This November, Singapore Art Museum (SAM) invites us to explore these questions through its latest exhibition, Lost & Found: How We Remember, running from 27 November 2026 to 18 April 2027 at SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark.

Bringing together works by 16 artists from Asia, the Asian diaspora and beyond, the exhibition explores the many ways memories are preserved, retold and sometimes forgotten.

And if there's one thing I've come to appreciate about contemporary art, it's how an artwork can make us reconsider something we've always taken for granted. In this case, something as personal and universal as our memories.

---

The Final Chapter of SAM's Lost & Found Series

For those who have been following Singapore Art Museum's exhibitions, How We Remember marks the concluding chapter of Lost & Found (2023–2026), a four-year project exploring what an archive can be and the different ways artists document experiences that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Over the years, the series has explored memory through several creative approaches.

In 2024, the Sea Chanty Project examined how songs can carry stories and cultural knowledge, while Embodied Archive explored how experiences and memories can be expressed through bodily movement.

The project also brought together research, conversations and shared reflections through Rings and Lost & Found: Assembly in 2026.

Now, How We Remember brings these conversations together, inviting visitors to consider how memories survive across generations, communities and changing environments.

---

Beyond Looking at Art: Activities to Explore at SAM

What makes a museum visit even more memorable for me is when there are opportunities to interact with the ideas behind the artworks.

Alongside the exhibition, SAM will be organising guided tours, artist activations and workshops, with several activities inviting visitors to become part of the remembering process.

Lost & Found: Learning Station
Location: Level 1, SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark

If you missed the earlier chapters of Lost & Found, the Learning Station offers a chance to revisit them through hands-on activities. Visitors can explore music videos from Sea Chanty, participate in a writing exercise inspired by Embodied Archive and even create their own zines inspired by Assembly.

And here's one activity that definitely caught my attention: a special layered stamp designed by artist Budi Agung Kuswara, inspired by his artwork Wildly Convenient. You know I can never resist a good stamping activity! There's something satisfying about collecting an impression that becomes a little keepsake of the experience.

Exercises in Recounting by Pixie Tan
Location: Level 1, SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark

Have you ever wondered how a conversation can become an archive? Artist Pixie Tan explores this through Exercises in Recounting, a take-apart zine developed from conversations and reflections gathered during Lost & Found: Assembly, a two-day symposium held in April 2026.

During the symposium, Tan created a participatory installation titled An Expanded Edit, where visitors could write, photocopy and exchange their thoughts. These contributions became a collective record of the conversations and encounters that took place.

Drawing from these materials and her own reflections, Tan has created a zine featuring four encounters inspired by presentations from the symposium. What makes this particularly interesting is its format. Rather than simply reading the publication from beginning to end, visitors can remove and explore its pages individually.

It's another reminder that an archive doesn't always have to be something formal or fixed. Sometimes, it begins with an ordinary conversation and the thoughts we choose to share. The zine will be available as a resource at the Learning Station.

Tactile Discovery Bag with Audio Descriptions
Location: Level 1, Ticketing Counter, SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark

SAM will also offer tactile discovery bags with audio descriptions to support different ways of experiencing the exhibition. Visitors can collect a bag from the ticketing counter and scan the QR code outside Gallery 1 to begin their exploration.
*The resource is open to everyone, with priority given to visitors with visual impairments.

Artist & Curator Tour with Singapore Sign Language Interpretation
Date: 28 November 2026, 3pm–4.30pm

For those who enjoy learning about the stories and creative decisions behind an artwork, the opening weekend will feature a special artist- and curator-led tour.

Visitors can hear directly from the exhibition's curators and participating artists about their creative processes and approaches to documenting personal and collective histories. Singapore Sign Language (SgSL) interpretation will be available throughout the session.

---

I'm definitely looking forward to experiencing the artworks in person and discovering which ones will leave me with something to think about long after leaving the gallery.

What about you, Huneybees? Is there an object, photograph or even a song that instantly brings back a special memory? Maybe it's time to revisit those little treasures and the stories behind them.

This article is an exhibition preview based on information released by Singapore Art Museum. I'll share more personal impressions after experiencing the exhibition.

A Lost Flower Comes Back to Life Through Art at 7 Singapore Public Libraries

Hi Huneybees,

A flower that has disappeared from Singapore's natural landscape is finding a new life through contemporary art.

Presented by Singapore Art Museum (SAM) in collaboration with the National Library Board (NLB) - Proposal for HOYA: 5 Lungs Temple is a new installation by artist and medicinal architect Yussef Agbo-Ola, making its Singapore and Southeast Asian debut.

Travelling across seven public libraries from 28 October 2026 to 3 October 2027, the installation transforms the microscopic structures of a locally extinct flower into intricate knitted sculptures, inviting visitors to discover the connections between nature, cultural heritage and sustainability.

With free admission and hands-on activities, the installation also brings contemporary art beyond traditional museum spaces and into the heart of Singapore's neighbourhoods.

Reimagining a Flower Lost to Singapore's Natural History

At the heart of Proposal for HOYA: 5 Lungs Temple is Hoya wallichii, a distinctive star-shaped flower believed to have been extinct in Singapore since 1894.

Associated with fertility, love and harmony, the Hoya flower serves as the inspiration for Agbo-Ola's installation, which reimagines the now critically endangered plant as a sacred space honouring Singapore's ecological history.

Drawing inspiration from the plant's microscopic structures, Agbo-Ola magnifies details normally invisible to the naked eye, transforming them into intricate knitted sculptures made from linen and yarn produced from deep-sea plastic waste. The installation brings together traditional textile-making techniques and experimental materials, creating a connection between craftsmanship, nature and sustainability.

Beyond their visual appeal, these sculptures highlight the relationship between human activity and the natural environment, while drawing attention to Singapore's changing ecological landscape. Through this artistic reinterpretation of Hoya wallichii, the installation invites visitors to reflect on their relationship with nature and rediscover a piece of Singapore's botanical history that might otherwise have been forgotten.

Where Traditional Weaving Meets Contemporary Art

Weaving plays an important role in Agbo-Ola's artistic practice, reflecting his Yoruba and Cherokee heritage, where textile-making is closely connected to cultural identity, ancestry and family history.

Having spent extended periods in the Amazon Forest, Agbo-Ola believes that natural materials carry memories and offer ways to better understand the world around us. His work draws on traditional knowledge of healing, craftsmanship and the natural environment, exploring how these practices are passed down, preserved and adapted across generations.

For the artist, remembering is also an act of care, not only for people and their cultural heritage, but also for the natural world. Combining traditional weaving techniques with contemporary materials, Agbo-Ola brings together art, architecture and ecological research to explore the relationships between plants, landscapes and the communities connected to them.

In Proposal for HOYA: 5 Lungs Temple, these influences take shape through intricate knitted sculptures that reflect both the biological structures of the flower and the cultural significance of weaving, connecting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary environmental concerns.

Get Creative with Interactive Activities

Visitors can also take a closer look at the materials and creative processes behind the installation through a specially designed tactile table. The interactive experience allows visitors to explore Agbo-Ola's weaving samples, touch different fabrics and participate in a colouring activity inspired by the stem cells of Hoya wallichii.

Through the activity, participants are invited to imagine how the flower might be brought back to life, contributing their own creative interpretations.

The artist also plans to bring these collected drawings together into an animation in future iterations of the project, allowing visitors' contributions to become part of the artwork's evolving story. As a keepsake, visitors who contribute their colouring sheets can take home a coaster featuring interesting facts about the flower.

Bringing Contemporary Art Beyond Museum Walls

As part of SAM's approach as a "disappearing museum", Proposal for HOYA: 5 Lungs Temple brings contemporary art into everyday community spaces, making it more accessible to audiences beyond traditional museum settings.

By presenting the installation in public libraries, SAM encourages visitors to encounter art during their regular activities, whether they are borrowing books, studying or simply exploring their neighbourhood.

The installation also connects with the themes of SAM's upcoming exhibition, Lost & Found: How We Remember, which runs from 27 November 2026 to 18 April 2027 at SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark.

Exploring how artists give form to lesser-known and unseen stories, the exhibition shares a thematic connection with Proposal for HOYA: 5 Lungs Temple through its exploration of memory, materials and the act of remembering what has disappeared.
