Saturday Mornings: David Black on Singaporeans' dramatic shift in attitudes towards US policies and its products

We sit down with Nurdiana Rahmat—Diana—Artistic Director of Light to Night Singapore 2026, as the iconic festival celebrates its landmark 10th edition with its longest run ever, spanning four weekends across the Civic District.

This year’s theme, “The Power in Us,” shines a spotlight on community, co‑creation, and the collective imagination that has shaped Light to Night into one of Singapore’s most beloved public art festivals. Diana shares how this milestone edition honours a decade of artistic experimentation while inviting audiences to play a more active role in shaping the experience.

Festivalgoers can look forward to crowd‑favourite projection mappings, new in‑gallery experiences, guided tours, and the return of the vibrant Art x Social: Festival Village. A major highlight is SANTAI, a brand‑new series of interactive installations inspired by the Malay word for “to relax,” inviting visitors to gather, unwind, and encounter art across five key sites—from the Padang to Esplanade Park.

This week, we’re joined by Barbara Kelemen, Head of Asia at Dragonfly, to unpack the Strategic Outlook 2026—a comprehensive intelligence assessment of the geopolitical and security risks shaping the year ahead. In a world where power is increasingly fragmented and spheres of influence overlap, Dragonfly describes 2026 as a “multisphere world,” one defined by fluid alliances, rising competition, and heightened uncertainty.

Barbara walks us through the report’s headline forecasts, including record global defence spending, the rise of geoeconomic coercion, and the growing threat of adversarial AI. She also explains why climate inaction is accelerating cascading crises, and how contested space—literally—has become a new frontier for strategic rivalry.

Region by region, we explore the flashpoints to watch: political polarization in the Americas, the volatile Taiwan Strait, Europe’s ongoing confrontation with Russia, persistent instability in the Middle East and North Africa, and the convergence of conflict and climate stress in Sub‑Saharan Africa. Singapore and other regional powers also feature in the report’s analysis of evolving defence postures.
