Singapore Pressing Challenge
Singapore is officially a super-aged nation in 2026, with over 21% population, more than one in five Singaporean aged 65 and older (CNA,2026). In Singapore, an estimated 74,000 seniors live with dementia, approximately 1 in 11 individuals aged 60 and above lives with dementia. This percentage increases with age, with a staggering 1 in 2 people aged 85 and above diagnosed with dementia. (Dementia hub SG, 2026).
Sound and Vision Gallery collaborate with Dementia Singapore, where we conduct cassette tapes weaving workshop with individuals with dementia and their families in the gallery space. According to the Bethesda Health, the power of reminiscing and evolving nostalgia through viewing old photographs, listening to a familiar song, or tasting childhood foods and smells is one of the best activities that benefit seniors’ mind and body, especially for seniors with dementia ( Bethesda Health, 2021) .
50% of the proceed from all art works sold will be donated to Dementia Singapore to support individuals with dementia and their caregiver families.
