Singapore as Laboratory: Reimagining the UNESCO Culture | 2030 Indicators
Step into the future where creative practice, artificial intelligence, and global cultural policy collide.
Join LASALLE College of the Arts for an exclusive, hands-on evening previewing the ground-breaking MA in Cultural Analytics and AI. Hosted by Programme Leader Associate Professor Natalia Grincheva, this immersive showcase turns Singapore into a living laboratory, inviting you into an interactive Decision-Making Theatre built to rethink how we measure, map, and mobilise cultural impact worldwide.
What to Expect
Rather than a conventional lecture, this session places you directly at the centre of real-world research praxis:
- The Culture in SDG Observatory: Experience a live demonstration of a pioneering platform designed by the Culture Futures Lab in collaboration with UNESCO. Discover how unconventional data proxies, geospatial mapping, and satellite imagery can track cultural vitality across regional ecosystems in real time.
- Speculative Design Environment: Step into a sensory, practice-led environment blending virtual reality and digital storytelling. Explore future-facing cultural scenarios mapped across four crucial UNESCO thematic domains: Environment & Resilience, Prosperity & Livelihood, Knowledge & Skills, and Inclusion & Participation.
- Programme Preview & Academic Dialogue: Learn firsthand how the new MA in Cultural Analytics and AI equips future sector leaders with technical fluency, algorithmic curation, and policy insight—with no coding background required to apply. Connect directly with the programme team, test computational tools, and discover application pathways for upcoming intakes.
