Date: 15th March 2026 (Sunday)
Location: Supperhouse, 37 Keppel Rd, Unit 04-02, Singapore 089064
Time: 10:30am - 7pm
As Singapore continues to urbanise and modernise, much of our traditional fishing village heritage has gradually faded from everyday life. With this transformation, many people have become increasingly disconnected from the origins of their seafood and the journey it takes before reaching our tables.
This exhibition invites visitors to reflect on Singapore’s seafood supply chain — from source to market — while rediscovering the rich diversity of fish species that have long been part of our local culture. By encouraging the public to consider questions such as where our fish comes from and how many species we can recognise today, the exhibition aims to spark curiosity and awareness.
Through educational displays and curated artworks, the exhibition highlights the importance of understanding different fish species, preserving cultural knowledge, and promoting more informed and sustainable seafood choices. By learning more about the journey of our seafood, visitors take the first step toward appreciating and supporting a more sustainable future.

Featured Artists
Eugenia Tan
The Zai Shun Archive & More
Eugenia Tan (b. 1982) is a Singaporean artist and storyteller whose work explores the human condition through the traces left by experience. Her paintings often begin with everyday materials such as market fish, burnt lottery slips and pages from Chinese almanacs, objects that carry the quiet tensions of chance, time and memory. Through layering and sedimented surfaces, she allows these fragments to settle and gather, revealing how stories emerge from the ordinary.
Through a sustained visual language of fish and embedded human traces, the works invite a sensory and temporal encounter where private emotion finds shared resonance.
Fiona Koh
Archives of the Everyday
Fiona Koh is a Singapore-based visual artist whose practice explores memory, value, and vanishing culture through still life painting. She is known for depicting everyday local food on Chinese-language newspapers, transforming once-essential yet fading materials into poetic reflections on what Singaporeans consume, celebrate, and forget.
Her works have been exhibited in community and heritage spaces locally. In 2025, she received the Ngee Ann Young Artist of the Year Award for her innovative approach to redefining how materials shape narrative and meaning.
Nathan Tan
Artificial Selection: Caught in a Pail
Nathan Tan (b. 1995, Singapore) is an artist and printmaker whose practice examines the intersection of human intervention and aquatic life within Singapore’s freshwater ecologies. Through field research and material experimentation, he explores fragile systems of adaptation shaped by ornamental fishkeeping and urban environments. Working across screenprint, aluminum and laser-cut plywood, Tan constructs layered works that question aesthetics-driven selection and artificial cohabitation.
Drawing from personal experience and research in local aquarium shops, this series reflects on the common practice of grouping incompatible species for display and sale.
Artificial Selection: Caught in a Pail critiques profit-led industry habits while acknowledging the artist’s own early missteps in fishkeeping. The work calls for informed care, ethical responsibility and greater awareness in confined, manmade aquatic systems.
Siew Guang Hong
Yellow Fish Series
Siew Guang Hong (b. 2000, Singapore) is an interdisciplinary artist. He utilises biology and anatomical investigation to propose new ways of understanding non-normative subjectivities. Exploring assemblage and abject aesthetics, he develops posthumanist modalities to queer autobiography and absurd obliteration.
Siew has exhibited artworks at Art Outreach Singapore; Richard Koh Fine Art, Singapore; Supper House; starch; Sculpture 2052; Pulse Gallery Bangkok; and Institute of Contemporary Art Singapore; and has performed in Singapore Art Museum; Peace Centre and Parklane. He has also devised and conducted workshops at Singapore Cancer Society and Singapore Management University.
Notably, he was the winner of the 2024 LASALLE Award for Academic Excellence, and received the Winton Oh Travelogue Award in the same year. Prior, he was the recipient of the LASALLE Scholarship, TIF-SOTA Scholarship and David Marshall Scholarship.

Speakers
Elliott James Ong
Growing up in a seafood-loving family, i've always loved seafood - eating it as well as preserving the species we eat and the stories behind them.
Coming from a strong environmental studies background, working on the conservation of species and landscapes made me realise that there was relatively little research being done on our local seafood and I always wondered why, especially when the seafood scene here is so diverse.
I started leading seafood tours to Tekka Market since 2021 and decided to co-found Pasarfish to continue expanding research and outreach on the fish in our wet markets.
Michelle Choo
I am a final year Master of Architecture student at NUS, whose work sits at the intersection of fishing, waterfront culture, and spatial design. Growing up fascinated by water, fishing and prawning, I have turned that lifelong interest into a thesis that reimagines fish farms and fishing villages as meaningful public spaces.
When people ask what fishing has to do with architecture, I answer by designing the kind of ‘third place’ I myself would love to spend time in: a fishing playground.
Kenny Lek
Growing up in a family of Teochew descent, I have a great appreciation for the freshest seafood produce. My childhood was spent roaming about Punggol traversing Singapore's mangroves and the coastlines for fresh catch which unfortunately is not as easy to do these days.
Through my experiences at WWF, I developed a passion for the conservation of our environment and wildlife.
Through my journey, I realised that the things I hold dear seem to be at a risk of being lost to history. This spurred me on to co-found Pasarfish to protect our heritage and nature for generations to come.

The Amphora Project brings low-intervention, small-batch wines from Slovenia and the Central Europe region to a new generation of curious drinkers in Singapore.
We champion wines made with sustainability, tradition, and craftsmanship - especially skin-contact orange wines and pét-nats that pair effortlessly with bold Asian flavours.
Slovenia, the heart of our portfolio, is home to the world’s oldest vine and a rich winemaking heritage rooted in organic, biodynamic, and low-intervention practices. Many of our producers we represent, work with indigenous grapes and make wines in limited quantities that are rarely seen exported out of Europe.
Inspired by the ancient amphora, our name reflects a return to nature and the roots of winemaking. Beyond selling wine, we’re passionate about building experiences, collaborating across disciplines, and making wine more accessible and engaging.

Van offers a balanced view in his artworks and books that provides a narrative with more down-to-earth, neutral tone. Entranced by the biodiversity from the South China Sea, his work focuses on the cultures, economics, and ecology of the nations surrounding it, featuring carefully selected coastal/marine flora and fauna that are influential or important to the nations.
Looking beyond geopolitics into local cultures, ecology, and economics, such as aquaculture, culinary cuisines, aquariums, fisheries, or any related trade to the featured coastal/marine plants and animals.
In 2022, two 21-year-olds — Wai Lun and Zyon — realised a simple but alarming truth: most Singaporeans don’t even know that we share our home with hornbills, mousedeer, and snakes native to our forests.
That shock set us on a three-year journey to rebuild the bridge between people and nature through play — to turn empathy into action, and curiosity into care.
The Mangrove & Coastal Edition of ByeO Barelands is the fruit of hundreds of field trips, expert consultations, and play-tests. Every card began as a photograph we took in the wild, and every ability is inspired by real behaviours. After countless revisions, our first ecosystem came to life — ready to remind players that biodiversity begins right at our doorstep.
Ento Industries is a Singapore-based organic waste management and carbon reduction company powered by advanced Black Soldier Fly systems.
In a city where food is deeply celebrated yet food waste remains a growing challenge, we reimagine waste as a resource by harnessing the natural ability of the Black Soldier Fly to convert food waste into valuable outputs such as nutrient-rich fertiliser and sustainable protein inputs.
Through this circular approach, we support businesses and communities with tangible, local solutions that close the loop between consumption and regeneration, such as Marine tilapia raised on sustainable feed powered by Black Soldier Fly.
At Greyscale Prints, we practice Gyotaku — a traditional Japanese fish printing technique — to create artistic impressions of fish found in Singapore’s wet markets, each telling their own story tied to our marine heritage.
All fish are printed using non-toxic ink and consumed afterwards, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
