About the Artwork – Diverse Neighbourhood
From as far back as the 19th century, the Bras Basah.Bugis precinct has been marked by diversity and eclecticism. As one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Singapore, Bras Basah was arguably Singapore’s most ethnically diverse residential neighbourhood. Mixed communities of Chinese including Peranakans, as well as Eurasians, Jews, Malays, Indians, Sikhs, Japanese, Armenians, and Europeans lived in close proximity. With its mix of residents, the district began to take on quite a cosmopolitan flavour! This mural is inspired by oral history interviews from former childhood residents, and pays homage to the energy and kampung spirit of the time.
