Featuring two additional chapters of the SINGAPORAMA travelogue that trace the long history of migration to Singapore, the programme continues with a dynamic showcase that begins with Oyilattam, a traditional folk dance from Tamil Nadu. Performed in synchronised formations with rhythmic steps, colourful handkerchiefs, and ankle bells, the dance is presented by Migrant Workers’ Centre (MWC) Ambassadors. This leads into a fireside conversation between Prof. Vineeta Sinha (Department of Sociology, NUS), Navin Rawanchaikul, and Ada Cheong from TWC2 (Transient Workers Count Too). They will discuss themes of community, identity, and collaboration. After which audiences are invited to head to Navin’s introduction to the SINGAPORAMA installation at the Padang Atrium.
