Synopsis:
This panel sharing explores the celebratory traditions of Singapore's islander communities, from music and dance to storytelling. These practices have been an integral part of island heritage, marking festive occasions and strengthening communal bonds. Through the lived experiences and ongoing efforts of former islanders and their descendants, the sharing will highlight how these traditions continue to evolve, serving as both a form of cultural expression and a means of sustaining identity in a rapidly modernising landscape.
Hear from community members who lived the memories and those working to keep them alive.
