A Place To Call Home – A photo essay exhibition by single-parent families

September 7th, 2018 | Children and Young People, Events, Family and Divorce, News, Your Stories

For many families in Singapore, home is a stable sanctuary and a space to unwind. Single-parent families want the same things. But many have to also grapple with frequent moves, housing insecurity and tighter finances.

Five storytellers, all from single-parent families, bare their homes and their hearts in this photo essay exhibition.

Their stories add to the calls single parents have made over the years for greater support and protection for their families. These personal accounts show how “home” can be a journey through adversity and grief; a feat of hope and strength; and a long search for security and stability.

Join us for the exhibition’s launch party at Intermission Bar and learn about the real experiences of single-parent families, beyond just bold statistics, academic narratives and media headlines.

This exhibition will run from 9 October to 4 November.

Organised in conjunction with AWARE’s long-standing #asinglelove campaign, which works to support and empower single parents through advocacy, services and programmes.
