Migrant Voices was founded on 15 April 2006 and grew out of the realisation that many migrant workers turn to the arts as a release from their personal and work stresses.
Migrant workers leave behind families and deep kinship ties to work here, in order to provide a better life for their loved ones. We work with work permit holders such as domestic workers and construction workers who cook for our families, care for our elderly, clean our streets and build our homes. By bringing these different migrant workers together, we hope to share an insight of their life through the arts and to show that we are more than just economic tools in this country - that b
eing human is more than just making money. It is about having mutual respect for eachother, to realise we all have something to share and to celebrate Singapore's multiculturalism as our culture.
