JOYS OF JOO CHIAT: As a pretty Joo Chiat shophouse adorned with Plumeria blooms, I stand as a living legacy of Singapore's vibrant Peranakan culture. I am an ornamental shophouse fashioned between 1889 and 1920. In the artwork "JOY–樂,", my story comes to life. Alongside me, a Nyonya in kebaya lights up a small stringed firecracker, her actions evoking memories of a time when our neighborhood was alive with cultural celebrations. Cats and dogs laze amidst feathered birds, their presence adding to the playful scene.
