On our Home Brew segment today, we welcome Daniel Tham, Principal Curator at the National Museum of Singapore, whose work gives fresh meaning to the nation’s past. “Once Upon a Tide,” a sweeping new exhibition that traces Singapore’s evolution—from its early days as a coastal settlement, through the Singapore River, to the vibrant city-state we know today. As Singapore marks 60 years of independence, Daniel invites us on a journey not just through history, but through identity, innovation, and imagination. Through rich storytelling and immersive installations, the exhibition pays tribute to the sea’s enduring influence on Singapore’s growth. In today’s conversation, we dive deep into the curatorial process, the meaning behind the exhibition’s themes, and how Once Upon a Tide connects Singaporeans—young and old—to the story of their island nation. Join “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys.
