Presented by The Listening Biennial, a highlight of The Singapore Night Festival

Re-Listening Care revisits Re-Imagining the Workplace (2024), a live performance created by Okui Lala, Ana Estrada, and Nasrikah, in collaboration with caregivers Uli, Arni, Ryanie, Diane, Leeanne, Madison, Rosie, Dipin, and Khushi. Originally performed on December 1, 2024, at QAGOMA (Australia), the event brought together aged care workers to share their experiences and collectively rethink care work.

By re-playing the audio from this performance, Re-Listening Care extends the conversation to a second audience, highlighting how care work—often unseen and unheard—deserves ongoing attention. Through listening as an act of care, this work invites audiences to engage with the labour, emotion, and resilience embedded in caregiving and to view dialogue as both a form of recognition and a place for change.

About the Artist:

Artists, community organisers

Okui Lala (Malaysia), Ana Estrada (Mexico/Australia), and Nasrikah (Indonesia/Malaysia) work together across countries meeting online to exchange ideas and develop projects centered in dialogue, storytelling, and social justice. Okui often collaborates with family, friends, workers, and those around her to explore identity, diaspora, and belonging. Ana works with aged care residents and caregivers, exploring storytelling as a tool for connection. Nasrikah the founding member of PERTIMIG, advocates for the rights of Indonesian domestic workers in Malaysia. Their collaboration is driven by a shared commitment to care, equity, and collective action—along with a genuine enjoyment of working together! Beginning with Re-Imagining the Workplace (2024) and continuing with Re-Listening Care (2025), they create spaces for conversations that challenge and reflect on systems of labour and care.

An Invite into Third Listening

The third edition of The Listening Biennial invites us to tune into the humming stars above and the countless voices they carry. These are voices of love and loss, voices that hold the past while evoking a future, and that resound with mystery and force, threading cosmic matter and embodied life with their potent stories. As part of the Singapore Night Festival, the artists of The Listening Biennial invite you to enter the space of Third Listening, to listen out for a plurality of life-forms as well as pathways of interconnection between seemingly irreconcilable differences.

The Singapore edition is co-programmed by artist Alecia Neo and publisher Ng Kah Gay of Ethos Books.
