“Moments in Multicultural Singapore - A Photographic Exploration of Singapore’s Ethnic Areas” is Christine’s sixth major solo photography exhibition in Singapore, and it is the third exhibition of the "My Singapore" series, after "Moments in My Neighbourhood" and “Moments in My Favourite Parks.
Christine’s earlier exhibitions focused on her passion for travel, nature, and landscape photography. The photographs for the exhibitions during and after the pandemic are all taken in Singapore, in the neighbourhood of Christine’s home and in the parks, gardens and nature reserves, and in the different ethnic areas of Singapore.
When Christine first arrived in Singapore in 2001, she was amazed by the multitude of cultures and religions on such a little island.
With this exhibition she is trying to explore some of the cultural expressions of the different ethnic groups living in Singapore. This exhibition, of course, can barely scratch on the surface of this multitude of possibilities to express belonging to an ethnic group. Christine, therefore, concentrates on three topics:
- Belief / religion,
- Street art, with focus on murals, and
- Shopping and food.
… and the odd picture of other “typical” cultural expressions of belonging to an ethnic group.
