Join 3rd generation Kampung Gelam resident on this two-hour walk of the neighbourhood where she was born, raised and still living in her family home, as she peels back the layers behind 'Kampung-Gelam-so-hip-and-cool' label.
Learn from her lived experiences of what was once a strong close-knit multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-faith neighbourhood, the rich tapestry of a community, where people worked and played, laughed and cried, lived and died.
What happens when that close-knit community is no longer there?
What is the reality for someone like Faizah still living in what is now a gentrified neighbourhood that no longer offers the same sense of community?
What values does Faizah draw from the strong shoulders upon which she stands, and the rich diversity she has been raised with, to bring Kampung Gelam into the 21st century and beyond?
More importantly, how can you make meaning of your own family story, and embrace not just its light but also its shadows?
What is story you wish to manifest for yourself?
"If you don't know where you come from, then how do you know who you are, and where you are going?
