"The Occupied Space" Exhibition

Squatting is an almost non-existent term in Singapore. For past few weeks, i was given the opportunity to work on a social awareness project about the lives and progress of a squatting community taking over a disused Fire Station along Whitgift Street, London.

An intriguing phenomenon of urbanization, this project offers an intimate perspective on how a community that fell through our social safety net, transform an otherwise derelict building into a social centre, providing not only a roof but a living space for its 24 new residents and the community.

However, in about a week time, the occupiers of the Fire Station will be back in court to receive the judgment on whether they would be evicted from the building. To emphasize the essential message of this project, i am delighted to be able to put through an exhibition over the weekend right before the court hearing. Do check it out if you are in London!!
