Where are we now?

Join us from July 1-31 to explore Singapore’s literary & film treasures! Enjoy our curated special collections showcasing the island nation’s storytelling brilliance.

As a vibrant crossroads of Asian cultures, Singapore shines brightly on the global literary stage with its unique multilingual landscape. Though a young nation, this city-state has cultivated a thriving literary ecosystem in English, Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, giving rise to boundary-crossing literary giants like You Jin and Xiao Han. From its colonial beginnings to post-independence prosperity, Singaporean literature balances tradition rooted in Eastern heritage while embracing global modernist influences and innovation.

作为亚洲文化交融的璀璨枢纽，新加坡以其独特的多元语言文学景观闪耀世界文坛。这个年轻的城邦国家虽历史不长，却培育出了英语、华语、马来语和泰米尔语四语并茂的繁荣文学生态，孕育了尤今、小寒等跨越疆界的文学巨匠。从殖民时期的萌芽到独立后的繁荣，新加坡文学既植根于东方传统的沃土，又兼容全球现代主义的思潮与创新。
