📍Venue: Lam Ann Association, Hong San See Temple, Singapore (Tentative)
To celebrate its centenary, the Lam Ann Association will showcase one hundred commemorative treasures exchanged with a hundred Lam Ann chambers of commerce and hometown associations worldwide. The exhibition brings together representative gifts from around the globe, each one a conversation, a handshake, or an expression of shared sentiment. These treasures are not only symbols of friendship but also embody the Lam Ann community’s spirit of enterprise across the world while remaining deeply connected to their ancestral homeland. Together, the one hundred gifts convey the centennial mission of the Association—strengthening hometown bonds, fostering trade relations, and preserving cultural heritage—while building a cultural bridge that connects tradition with the wider world for future generations.

A Hundred Blessings, Woven to Home
A Hundred Blessings, Woven to Home celebrates the idea of “a hundred people gathering blessings,” symbolising the return of good fortune to the home. One hundred unique scripts each write the character “福” (Blessing), coming together like a shimmering river of light, while the single character “家” (Home) gathers them all, transforming into a warm and welcoming sanctuary. Blessings represent the wishes we place on a home, and a home is where these wishes find their true resting place. More than a ceremonial display, this exhibition is a journey back to cultural roots, where blessings flourish through reunion and hearts find peace in belonging. A hundred blessings in heart, all returning home.

Keeping Pace with the Times
Keeping Pace with the Times is an AI imaging exhibition that invites one hundred families to create unique “future family portraits” using their ancestral hometowns as cultural DNA and the power of artificial intelligence. More than a blend of technology and art, the exhibition is a journey through time, preserving family memories while reimagining them for the digital age. By co-creating these AI portraits, families celebrate the continuity of their heritage and the enduring bonds that connect generations.
