OH! Jalan Besar: Refuge for Strangers image

Besar is big in Malay; its big-ness lies in complexity. Jalan is to walk.

In a city of sharp lines, yellow boxes and clear labels, Jalan Besar is complex, messy and raw. Here, the past overlaps with the present, communities old and new intersect. Jalan Besar presents itself as a place you can make your own, but only if you belong here and perhaps nowhere else; The transient workers, the fringes of society, the sunset trades and disappearing clans –– these communities live in the margins of Singapore. But not in Jalan Besar. Jalan Besar belongs to them.

So we enter as strangers. Artists lead the way, their works scattered across secret spaces and trade shops in Jalan Besar.

Join us on this mini artwalk that grapples with the strangeness of Jalan Besar, this intangible other-ness we may never truly understand. Explore the different ways of approaching, understanding and gazing at Jalan Besar from the outside. Discover the stories that built this refuge for strangers.
