Under the banner “2560” – marking both SMU’s 25th and Singapore’s 60th anniversary respectively – the six-week arts festival was its most ambitious yet, uniting students, alumni and collaborators in five flagship productions and a slate of campus-wide activities. While previous editions of the SMU Arts Festival offered many platforms for student collaboration, this year’s festival stood as a statement of how SMU and its community engage with culture, identity and ambition. Across six weeks, more than 460 performers – students, alumni and peers from other institutions – came together to celebrate not just milestones, but the expression and imagination of youth. It also reflected SMU's journey and growth over the past 25 years.
