Parts & Personalities

Get to know some of the people who live, work, and thrive in Geylang. We speak to them in our special video series, Celebrating the Ordinary (CeO), where we celebrate the ordinary folks who live in this neighbourhood. 

Celebrating the Ordinary Ep. 01

Geylang is, as Cai Yin Zhou puts it, is a “social ecosystem” full of fascinating personalities from all walks of life, who come at all times of the day and night, for a variety of reasons on the “spectrum of morality”.

Celebrating the Ordinary Ep. 02a

After meeting with a long-time resident, this time, we meet some relatively newer business owners who share some of the things they love about Geylang beyond its stereotypes as a red-light district.

Celebrating the Ordinary Ep. 02b

Lighting Sparks and Planting Seeds - are we bringing Geylang back to its roots as a lemongrass plantation? Here's what's coming up in Geylang.

Celebrating the Ordinary Ep. 03

Time to meet our new neighbours! We chat with Alan and Sarah of pottery studio Terra and Ember about the magic in Geylang, pottery and even about life (while trying to make sure the clay on our pottery wheels doesn’t fly everywhere).
