Our Favourite Haunts: Through the Lens of Migrant Workers
Now in its fourth edition, the Migrant Workers Photography Festival (MWPF) invites you to view Singapore through the eyes of its migrant community. With over 100 submissions, this year’s exhibition is themed Our Favourite Haunts.
Inspired by the dual meaning of “haunt”, the works showcase scenes of community and belonging alongside wistful, otherworldly portraits – offering a fresh and intimate perspective on the spaces we share.
This exhibition features images that some visitors might find unsettling. Visitor discretion is advised.
About Migrant Workers Photography Festival (MWPF)
MWPF is a biennial festival that aims to showcase the creative talents of Singapore’s migrant workers through photography, and to amplify the perspectives of the migrant community. It is the first photography festival dedicated to the works of migrant workers in Singapore, and is open to all regardless of gender, age, nationality or occupation.
Through its associate programmes – workshops, photowalks, and Community Diary – the festival hopes to build a diverse community that transcends nationalities, and to bridge the current social divide between the migrant and local communities. The team behind MWPF similarly reflects this ethos comprising both locals and migrants from different countries, who co-organise this initiative in the spirit of friendship, equality and community.
This exhibition is presented in collaboration with Migrant Workers Photography Festival (MWPF) and supported by AVS Printing. For more information, visit MWPF on Instagram at @mwpf_sg.
