Blurring The
Lines Between Us

Migrant workers form one-fifth of Singapore’s population, but do we consider them part of our community? In collaboration with migrant poets Bhing and Jo Ann, follow 3 audio trails set along the lines of Lucky Plaza, Orchard Road, and in your very own home. Featuring original poetry, this programme explores be/longing in an adopted city. Immerse yourself in the routes of their daily lives; blur the lines of how we inhabit and navigate our shared urban environment.

This programme is presented in partnership with Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (HOME), which advocates for migrant workers' rights and provides support to these workers.
