Unlearning Colonisation by Dorcas Tang

Unlearning Colonisation is an illustration of modern Singapore society, backdropped against British colonial history and its residual effects on our culture, people and even architecture. While present Singapore holds racial harmony at the core of its value system, the original Padang painting depicted undeniable White Supremacy, division between races, and the use of coloured people as servicemen. The past and present, East and West ideologies, and even generational beliefs, struggle to conflate and the result is an ever-confused, rojak society.
