Ethos Dreams is a pop-up bookstore presented by Ethos Books & Dakota Dreams which seeks to platform diverse perspectives from Singapore society, weave conversations across communities and showcase the Ethos Books catalogue in a fresh and unique space this National Day.

Joining the pop-up are special guests:

The pop-up will feature over 60 Ethos titles by local authors, artists and thinkers, celebrating multiple perspectives of Singapore. 10% of sales proceeds will be contributed to the Standing Solidarity Fund, a resource created by community group Migrant Mutual Aid as a direct redistribution channel for migrant workers' needs.
