Bukit Merah Diaries

Delving into mythical folklores and childhood anecdotes, 14 visual and music artists reimagine the forgotten sights and sounds of Bukit Merah.

Through this self-guided art trailβ€”composed of 7 original murals and 7 original soundtracksβ€”visitors are invited to discover this charming neighbourhood and ponder upon their own stories. 

14 artists have been invited to consider the residents’ memories and the history of the estate while creating their artistic response via paintings and soundtracks, giving new works of art in the neighbourhood, for the neighbourhood.

β€œThe exhibition tracks the metamorphosis of memory into artistic expressions, providing an opportunity for the artists to connect with the residents with their artworks - recalling memories and meanings from the past, interpreted through the lens of the present.”
