Poem Translations for book: Alfian Sa’at ( @alfiansaat )
Di Mana Keluargaku Merantau addresses the space that is connected to memory within the changing landscapes in Singapore. Tracing the generational history from being a local in a rural village in Bawean Island to migrating to the constantly developing and heavily urbanised land of Singapore (that developed from a village to a concrete jungle in the past 60 years), these changes have resulted in my family's Bawean diasporic status.
This is an expansion of Balik ke Pondok where I was documenting the changes of architecture of my grandfather’s pondok in Singapore.
“We have had to constantly move from place to place and adapt to our surroundings. It is inevitable that these fast changes have resulted in the erasure and forgetting of our indigenous, native culture. This installation is a documentation of such changes of architecture as it evolved and how it affects my identity as a 3rd generation immigrant in Singapore and my memories of my heritage.” Huda Osni
This was organised by BEAF organisation in Boscombe part of Connected Roots exhibition. Thank you for those that was involved the past two years for making this possible x
