Month of Photography Asia (MOPAsia) : InsideOut II
16 June 2009 to 18 July 2009
12pm - 7pm (Closed on Mondays)
Project Space, Lasalle
1 McNally Street

InsideOut was one of the other projects during the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2006 that worked to empower migrant workers by teaching basic photography skills. Using basic point-and-shoot digital cameras this time round, the participants from all walks of life gathered once a week to learn photography from professional photographers. On display this time will be 40 images that will give us a first-hand look into how they see Singapore, into their lives.

This year, we were unable to get enough cameras and had no choice but to rotate the use of the cameras between the 4 groups. So do take

During the exhibition, there will also be a bin for you to donate your used digital cameras (and memory cards) so that we can continue the project next year

This project was jointly organized by Migrant Voices, Objectifs and Phish Communications as part of the Month of Photography Asia, 2009.

There will be a few sub-events that will be happening during the Month of Photography. These include:

INTEGRATE @ MOPASIA
27 June 2009, Saturday, 6pm

We will be having a reception for all the mentors, photographers, their employers and anyone who just wants to support the project. We have yet to confirm the caterer, but if all goes well, we will be serving hearty, traditional home cooked food by migrant workers.

This will be an "entry by donation" event, but we hope people who come can bring a cheque instead of cash, regardless of the amount. By doing so, you can rest assured that the money goes directly to Migrant Voices bank account. We really need patrons and funds to continue our work, and given the number of projects that are happening, we hope you will be able to contribute. (We've only $1000+ left)

if you are interested, please RSVP to me at support@migrantvoices.org. We will set up the Facebook Event Page soon.

Talkback Sessions (Free and Open to Public)
