What will the world look like 100 years in the future? Will we be the same, following the same mistakes our predecessors have made because it is easier to engage with what we already know than face the unknowable change bring?

The Lost Tour: Winstedt’s Women
Performance / Installation / Sound / Speculative History
One Night Only 2017, Lasalle College of the ARts, Singapore
This performance piece has been shown twice in the same night. What you see are the surviving relics of the performance.
How were the lives of the women like in 1900 - 1950s Singapore? The hollowing of the land served the colonial masters and to serve the men of a new nation, taken for granted. This abuse of Mother Earth is tolerated and almost seemingly subservient to the wants and needs of men. Yet, we see the fissures of where men have no control over; in the roots of the trees that peek through the tar car park and the weeds that insist on growing in the cracks of the parade square. Much like Mother Earth, I trace the lives of these women and how they have functioned beyond the traditional social constructs of the idealised woman. Through found objects such as jewellery and photographs, narratives from interviews and news reports, and recreated audio, I retell the stories of Winstedt’s Women.
