Balancing institutional leaning towards emerging talents, this initiative champions the sustainable artistic evolution of Singapore’s ageing population, affirming that wisdom and creative ability flourish with experience.

As Artistic Director Ong Keng Sen articulates: “T:>Works’ own pioneering journey was built upon the foundational contributions of artists now in their seasoned years. Their early innovations continue to resonate. Funds raised will be ring-fenced to empower creators aged 60 and above with resources to develop their work, culminating in a future AGEncy festival. It celebrates the endurance and agency of mature artists, ensuring their invaluable contributions are neither forgotten nor abandoned. DnA Fest is not a nostalgic look back, but a powerful declaration of T:>Works’ relentless evolution and its visionary approach to the future of art and life. It consolidates our position as a vital incubator of sustained cultural innovation.”
