When the streets were our playground

Through a studio partnership with social service agency Montfort Care, first year students from the BA (Hons) Design for Social Futures programme craft narratives that explore themes of care, family ties, rituals, placemaking and identity as they engage with the elder community in the iconic neighbourhood of Tiong Bahru. 

This exhibition is the culmination of a 10-week journey and advocates, through photography and design anthropology, for the stories of our seniors that are often unheard and invisible.
