While on lockdown, the galleries of Singapore’s iconic ArtScience Museum were empty — but online, the museum was abuzz. Honor Harger shares how they’re engaging deeply with its visitors through streamed talks, performances and workshops that investigate the COVID-19 landscape and uplift marginalized voices. (This virtual conversation, hosted by TED’s current affairs curator Whitney Pennington Rodgers, was recorded June 17, 2020.)
