In our quest to become more sustainable, the world is gradually shifting towards renewable sources of energy. That’s good news, but there is insufficient oversight of this shift, and some regions are benefiting at the expense of others. How can the world ensure a fair and just transition into a more environmentally-friendly future?

Read about it in our latest story:

Research shapes so much of what data storytellers do. Lately, we’ve been wondering: Can a research relationship really be equitable? We’d love to hear your perspective.

Singapore’s National Day on 9th August coincides with International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. It reminds us that commemorating the country’s achievements also demands recognition of what Indigenous communities have lost in the way of unchecked development. In this issue of notes from the equator, we reflect on the contested places we call home.

Why do we make and take desire paths? Can they plot the trajectory of our dreams? 💭

𝑨 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 is a new artwork and data storytelling project responding to Tan Pin Pin’s walk walk (Singapore Deviation version). This work explores how, why, and where we walk, through an exploration of desire paths found in four locations across Singapore.

Look out for it on the 6m x 12m wall outside SAM’s Level 1 galleries at Tanjong Pagar Distripark! Learn how the research team conducted their fieldwork, applying a decolonial approach to walking as an embodied way to understand our world.

Some desire paths are shortcuts; some reveal something deeper, while others just ask to be made! Interact with this witty and speculative work, and we hope it’ll inspire you to pause and reflect the next time you encounter (or use) a desire path in the wild.
