First-ever virtual “SCOPES Driven by Porsche”

Porsche Asia Pacific is presenting the first virtual edition of the event format SCOPES, and the festival will span over two months, hosted on an independent platform to unite a young, dynamic group of creators from Southeast Asia.

From 1 August 2021, SCOPES will feature a variety of inspiring stories including documentaries, workshops, podcast series, interactive live panels and talks, to encourage exchanges and dialogues on what the future in Southeast Asia could look like, with visionaries and driven individuals helping to shape the narrative.

The themes that are central to SCOPES are rooted in values that make up the Porsche DNA, and are simultaneously very present in the Asian zeitgeist – a pioneering spirit in harmony with tradition, design, and sustainability.

"With SCOPES as a platform, we want to promote the exchange of ideas in the young creative scene. We started in the metropolises of Berlin, Amsterdam and Tokyo," says Ragnar Schulte, Director Experiential Marketing at Porsche AG. "Now the journey continues in Southeast Asia, one of the most diverse and innovative regions in the world that fascinates and inspires."

Uniting the region’s driven individuals

The visual direction of SCOPES was defined by Theseus Chan, an internationally renowned graphic artist from Singapore. SCOPES also invited four outstanding women of the arts, Narelle Kheng, Ramengvrl, Jess Connelly, and Suboi, who will share their journeys in pursuing their dreams while breaking out of cultural norms. SCOPES will provide a platform for them to share their stories and to empower other female artists with similar ambitions in the industry.
