DISSECTING THE DIASPORIC IDENTITY IN SINGAPORE THROUGH DRESS

Post-colonial Singapore is home to a microcosm of diasporic communities that have adapted, assimilated or were simply raised in our Singaporean society. As a city often described as a melting pot of cultures, we set out to uncover the hidden stories amongst our diasporic communities, to see how they navigate their overlapping identities through dress.

OUR Approach

Our growing archive of interviews with various diaspora in Singapore are a documentation of how diverse these communities are. From objects that have been passed on from one generation to the next, to objects that have found new meaning to new wearers, there are unique stories to be uncovered.
