Beautiful artworks. I know that heat-aircon-repeat shuffle well.

Wow, I never knew Singapore had interesting street art, or any street art at all, considering their harsh punishment for littering. Looking forward to your expat musings.

Yes, I was surprised as well! It’s an area next to Little India, where I guess locals can be “creative”. Under supervision, though.

I love (being sarcastic) how people appropriate formerly organic things like street art and make them a show of any kind of “authenticity.” I appreciate street art, perhaps even the somewhat sanitized form over the truly authentic tagging and scrawling, but it seems to be taking it too far when it is supervised! I guess it’s a step in the right direction …?

Well, it seemed to me that everything, in Singapore, is accurately staged and organised… so not much of a shocker to see that “street art” also toes the line!

The artistry is beautiful in the murals. Looking forward to your thoughts on the area locals and exactly how a place dedicates itself to “ethnic authenticity.”
