    HAN@K-JC and HAN@Clementi aim to showcase year-round activities and programming that creatively explore and increase awareness of heritage and culture, engage the community, and activate shared public spaces of the two neighbourhoods.

    Projects can take on various formats, including but not limited to:

    • exhibitions;
    • guided tour programmes;
    • talks, lectures, and workshops;
    • screenings;
    • murals;
    • community games and competitions; or
    • temporary outdoor artwork installations.

    Your project proposal should focus on at least one of the following HAN programming priorities:

    1. Explore the diverse cultural layers and stories that define the neighbourhood’s identity;
    2. Celebrate the history, significance, key figures and/or communities in the neighbourhood;
    3. Reveal and promote new, or lesser-known, aspects of the neighbourhood’s heritage and culture;
    4. Build new audiences that can appreciate the heritage and culture of the neighbourhood;
    5. Present the neighbourhood’s heritage and culture in unique and/or innovative ways, such as through the use of technology to engage audiences and to provide them with agency to learn more about the precinct’s heritage.
