TIONG BAHRU

ABOUT

CIVIC LIFE: SINGAPORE is a major arts project which brings together artists, communities and audiences to explore, question and celebrate ideas of community, identity and belonging through reflection, participation, film and prose. The project was inspired by Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor's acclaimed CIVIC LIFE project, an ongoing series of short films exploring cinematically the relationship between community and place.

The project includes:

TIONG BAHRU
