One of the world’s greatest living artists. One of the most ambitious exhibitions Singapore has ever staged. Sugimoto’s “Form Is Emptiness” is a masterpiece — meditative, philosophical, and visually stunning. SAM Curators Amy Cheng and Angelica Ong walked us through the journey. If you care about art, perception, or time itself… go see this.

On The Wide Angle, we explore one of the most significant art events of the year: Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form Is Emptiness, a major exhibition at the Singapore Art Museum running from 29 May to 4 October 2026 — and the first large‑scale solo exhibition of Sugimoto’s work in Southeast Asia.

This ambitious project. Spanning five decades of Sugimoto’s practice, from photography and sculpture to architecture and conceptual art, the exhibition brings together over 60 works across 11 series, including Seascapes, Theatres, Sea of Buddha, Opticks, and Portraits.

We discuss the curators’ experience working with Sugimoto’s team, the philosophical ideas behind the exhibition, and what audiences can expect from this immersive, meditative encounter with one of contemporary art’s most influential figures.

Women. Capital. Climate. 

The future of inclusive finance is being built across Asia. Angels of Impactturns 10 this year and CEO Laina Green joined me to talk about investing in women‑led, community‑based enterprises.  This week on Future Earth, we discuss the Singapore‑based “charitable purpose” enterprise investing in women‑led, community‑based, and sustainable businesses across Asia.

We explore Angels of Impact’s mission: to build an equitable, climate‑resilient future by directing philanthropic capital toward women and indigenous‑led enterprises that support UN SDGs #1 (No Poverty), #5 (Gender Equity), and #12 (Responsible Consumption & Production). Laina shares how women entrepreneurs are “turbocharging” local economies, strengthening climate resilience, and transforming communities from the ground up.
