Featuring the works of photographers Ken Cheong and Zann Huang, this panel discussion will feature the photographers’ visual documentation and insight into the ritual of the Wayang, as well as spaces like Buangkok and the Bukit Brown Cemetery, trailing into a discussion of how documentation via photography infers and affects our construction of heritage in Singapore.

The photo below is a gate which has 2 stone benches and is an extension of the tomb located at Blk 1 at Bukit Brown Cemetery, visible from the road. It invites questions as how it came to be a standalone with no surrounding perimeter.
