SINGAPORE HERITAGE TILE PROJECT
Celebrate the exciting reveal of over 1,000 vintage tiles in a
spectacular showcase of SINGAPORE's decorative tile history. Enjoy
seeing the efforts of a unique project to explore traditional Chinese
culture, foreign influences and local trends.
_Singapore Heritage Tiles: A Decorative Legacy of Love _will
present over 200 exquisite tiles with diverse motifs including
tigers, fairies and flowers from the Arts and Crafts Movement, Art
Nouveau and Art Deco periods. Art lovers, design enthusiasts and those
who simply love beauty will be captivated by these ceramic treasures
otherwise often locally known as Peranakan tiles.
Since May 2019, more than 100 community volunteers have been donating
their time and energy to this project. I'm particularly proud to
include possibly SINGAPORE's only twin tiled bench tomb from 1913 as
one of six 'star' tombs. I'd love to share the story of the
unexpected restoration of this unique architectural beauty and efforts
to trace the descendants.
Gather your friends and join us for an exploration of these
international tiles, which will culminate in a special photo shoot.
I look forward to welcoming you to Singapore's most decorative
heritage event!
cheers,
Jennifer Lim, Director of the Singapore Heritage Tile Project
