The Edge, 2023

Bridging worlds and the Cosmos

As the sun set, our evening walk led us to the historic Mount Emily Villa, also known as Osborne House, at 11 Upper Wilkie Road. This charming colonial-era villa, the oldest structure on Mount Emily, was once home to a Japanese dentist in Singapore. In World War II, it served as the Japanese Consulate Office.

This venue was chosen to host the Dancing with the Cosmos: Three Decades of Work from Kumari Nahappan solo exhibition, showcasing the three-decade artistic journey of this Singaporean artist. The event was opened by Alvin Tan, Minister of State at the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, and the Ministry of Trade and Industry. Tan noted the special significance of the occasion since this area is part of his constituency.
