Description

Dear Punggol is a resident-led exhibition that invites you to visit a familiar chapter of Punggol’s history––pig farming. Peer into a series of mailboxes to view intricate miniature paper dioramas recreating scenes from 1980s farm life, created by a resident of Punggol's last farms. These rare glimpses into everyday memories and domestic routines offer a personal lens to the narratives usually told about the neighbourhood's agricultural and industrious past.

Please note that photos and/or videos may be taken. Visitors agree that NHB and the programme organiser may take photographs and/or videos of them (or their child as applicable) and use the images and/or videos including to archive, exhibit and publish them for publicity or any other NHB purposes.

ABOUT ESTHER SIAH

Dear Punggol is led by Esther Siah, a paper quilling artist who grew up on her grandparents’ pig farm in Punggol and wants to keep alive the memory of rural landscapes that were familiar before.

Dear Punggol was developed through HAN@Punggol’s Call for Collaboration, an open call that champions alternative stories by empowering residents to share their ground-up experiences through leading creative programmes for fellow residents.
