Celebrate our shared heritage and the vibrancy of Punggol’s community at Heritage Activation Node (HAN)@Punggol Open House! Taking place from 14 to 29 March 2026, the inaugural Open House marks the culmination of community-led efforts over the past year to showcase the heritage of the precinct. Join the festivities across Punggol as it transforms into a lively display of the neighbourhood’s history, featuring community projects, site-specific installations, heritage trails, and art-based heritage programmes that bring the neighbourhood’s stories to life.

Launched in 2025 by the National Heritage Board (NHB) and OH! Open House as part of a three-year partnership, HAN@Punggol seeks to increase knowledge, foster belonging, and inspire participation among Punggol residents through co-created initiatives. Through this
collaboration, NHB works with OH! Open House to offer contemporary art and heritage projects that tell stories of the neighbourhood, connect residents with their neighbours, and celebrate the living history of Punggol with the community.

The Punggol Neighbourhood Storybook

The Open House celebrates the launch of the Punggol Neighbourhood Storybook, which features 10 short stories of familiar Punggol histories developed from oral history interviews and archival research. These stories are presented through creative narratives that make local heritage engaging and accessible, particularly for younger residents and families. From memories of seaside dining at Punggol Point and kampong life to a poignant story inspired by Punggol Zoo, the Neighbourhood Storybook offers an entry point into Punggol’s
past. It includes an activity section that invites residents to physically explore their neighbourhood and discover how heritage can be found even in contemporary spaces.

HAN@Punggol Open House to feature four ground-up community projects

Beyond the storybook, four community projects telling the stories of Punggol’s heritage will be spotlighted at the Open House. These ground-up initiatives, which arose from HAN@Punggol’s first public Call for Collaborations issued in 2025, include an audio trail and
walking tours exploring Punggol’s coastline, a curated communal dining experience, a virtual reality art workshop rediscovering the area’s flora and fauna, and a resident-led diorama exhibition about pig farming. The Open House will also feature artist-led works inspired by Punggol’s sights and sounds, offering fresh perspectives into the neighbourhood’s identity and transformation.

New Call for Collaboration for HAN@Punggol

NHB and OH! Open House will jointly issue a second public Call for Collaboration for HAN@Punggol from 14 March to 30 June 2026. Community groups and individuals are encouraged to submit their ideas and proposals for consideration, continuing the momentum of community-led heritage initiatives in Punggol. More information on the Call for Collaboration can be found at http://go.gov.sg/han-cfc.

首届 HAN@Punggol Open House 呈现一年来社区主导努力的成果

在 Heritage Activation Node (HAN)@Punggol Open House，一起庆祝我们共同的文化遗产以及 Punggol 社区的活力吧！首届开放日将于 14 至 29 March 2026 举行，标志着过去一年社区主导努力的高潮，展示该区域的文化遗产。届时，Punggol 将变身为充满活力的历史展示空间，涵盖社区项目、特定地点装置、遗产步道以及基于艺术的遗产活动，将社区的故事生动呈现。

HAN@Punggol 由 National Heritage Board (NHB) 与 OH! Open House 于 2025 年推出，作为为期三年的合作项目的一部分。HAN@Punggol 旨在通过共同创造的项目，增加居民对社区的了解，培养归属感，并激发居民参与。通过此合作，NHB 与 OH! Open House 共同推出当代艺术与文化遗产项目，讲述社区故事，促进邻里互动，并与社区一起庆祝 Punggol 的生活历史。

The Punggol Neighbourhood Storybook

开放日将庆祝 The Punggol Neighbourhood Storybook 的发布，该书收录了 10 个关于 Punggol 熟悉历史的短篇故事，内容来源于口述历史访谈及档案研究。这些故事通过创意叙事呈现，使当地文化遗产变得生动有趣，尤其适合年轻居民和家庭阅读。从 Punggol Point 的海边用餐记忆、kampong 生活，到以 Punggol Zoo 为灵感的感人故事，The Neighbourhood Storybook 为探索 Punggol 过去提供了切入点。书中还包含活动环节，邀请居民亲自探索社区，并发现即使在现代空间中，也能感受到文化遗产的存在。

HAN@Punggol Open House 将呈现四个社区自发项目

除了故事书，开放日还将重点展示四个讲述 Punggol 文化遗产的社区项目。这些自发性项目源自 HAN@Punggol 在 2025 年首次公开发出的 Call for Collaborations，包括探索 Punggol 海岸线的音频步道与步行游、策划的共享用餐体验、虚拟现实艺术工作坊重新发现当地动植物，以及由居民主导的关于养猪业的立体模型展览。开放日还将展出受 Punggol 景观与声音启发的艺术家作品，为社区的身份与转型提供全新视角。

HAN@Punggol 新一轮 Call for Collaboration

NHB 与 OH! Open House 将联合发布 HAN@Punggol 第二轮公开 Call for Collaboration，征集时间为 14 March 至 30 June 2026。鼓励社区团体与个人提交创意与提案，以延续 Punggol 社区主导文化遗产项目的势头。更多协作征集信息可访问 http://go.gov.sg/han-cfc。
