Seeing (from) the Other












We spent Sunday afternoon visiting the Peranakan museum and loved the artist Shirley Soh's work on “What change should we embrace if we are to keep up with a changing world?”  She collaborates with inmates from the women’s prison to think about change and encourages them to use their sewing skills to illustrate their concerns on pieces of linen.  There's just so many untold stories behind these pieces of cloth.  Stories of sadness and I'd like to think stories of hope as well.
