Saturday Mornings: Day of the Dead Comes to Singapore - When Art Keeps Memory Alive
🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s The Wide Angle Conversation Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen welcomes the Mexican Ambassador to Singapore Agustín García-López Loaeza, Mexican artist R3DO (Alan Rodríguez), and Lynn Zeng from Bankaool Mexico to explore one of Mexico's most meaningful cultural traditions: Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead.
At the Singapore Art Museum, three contemporary Mexican artists are bringing this centuries-old tradition to life through powerful murals, immersive installations, and traditional altars that honor loved ones who have passed on. The exhibition, Where We Are Remembered, We Return, blends contemporary art with cultural heritage in a way that feels both deeply personal and universally human.
We'll discuss why the Day of the Dead is often misunderstood outside Mexico, how art bridges cultures across continents, and why memory remains one of humanity's most powerful connections.
It's a conversation about family, identity, culture, and the enduring power of stories to keep people alive long after they're gone.
