Pomponcheng’s Journey: How *SCAPE Streamer Residency Opened Doors to University
The people who pour their heart and soul into creating something bigger than themselves. At *SCAPE, these heroes are our Community Builders, individuals who have turned their passions into meaningful projects that leave an indelible impact.
Take, for instance, Sarah Lim, a young artist who saw potential in using art as a medium to connect youths from diverse backgrounds. Through her Community Canvas project, she organized collaborative mural-painting workshops that brought strangers together to share their stories and create something beautiful. “It wasn’t just about painting; it was about bonding,” Sarah shares. “We discovered that art can be a bridge, not just an expression.”
Then there’s Aaron Tan, a musician and mentor who founded Busk Academy under the BUSK STOP initiative. Having started as a solo busker at *SCAPE, Aaron wanted to help younger talents navigate the challenges of performing in public spaces. Today, his program not only teaches technical skills but also builds confidence in youth performers. “Music gave me a voice, and now, I’m passing that on,” he says.
But it’s not just about art or music. Darren and Emma, co-founders of the Green Sparks Movement, saw an opportunity to create change in the realm of sustainability. They rallied fellow eco-conscious youth to host workshops on upcycling and urban gardening right here at *SCAPE. Their small initiative quickly grew into a series of events that encouraged practical, everyday solutions for a greener community. “The support we received from *SCAPE helped us turn our vision into action,” Darren recalls.
These are just a few stories from the tapestry of talent, passion, and purpose that *SCAPE nurtures. For every builder, there’s a dream that started small but grew into something transformative—because at *SCAPE, we believe in providing the space, resources, and encouragement to make those dreams a reality.
Whether through music, art, sustainability, or mentorship, our Community Builders are proof that when people come together with a shared purpose, the impact is boundless. Their journeys inspire not only those who participate but also everyone who hears their stories.
Want to be a part of this movement? At *SCAPE, there’s always room for more builders—individuals who dare to dream, act, and make a difference. You could be the next to turn your passion into a project that transforms lives. Let’s build a stronger, more vibrant community together.
