Um Bean Dolls of the Old Trades Úlnliðsstoð

Baunadúkkurnar eru búnar til með hefðbundinni aðferð við þurrkað baunaspírahýði og eru með fjórar táknrænar myndir af gamla Kínahverfi Singapúr: Towkay, Kopi frændi, Samsui kona og Majie.

Með áreynslu núverandi aldraðra í Kínahverfinu eru baunadúkkurnar hannaðar sem úlnliðsstoð, kellingar eða minning um gamla iðngreinina. Það miðar að því að þjóna sem músa fyrir uppgötvun staðbundinna sögu og hvetja yngri kynslóðir til að rannsaka menningu sína frekar.

Framleiðslutækni: The making of the bean dolls was a community effort. With help from the elderly of Kreta Ayer Senior Activity Centre, sacks of bean sprout husks were collected from neighbours, washed and dried in the sun till the husks are dried and solidified. The dried husks were then left in a cool, dry place and carefully handpicked for production.

ii) are too old to be interviewed
iii) feel ashamed of their ex-job

Desk research and empirical data from scholars and trade people were collected and analyzed to envisages the culture through the perspective of visual communication and to shape multiple conceptions of place and identity. The design outputs are functional mementoes that aim to promote the values and appreciative awareness of Asian cultures and history. Commission by the Singapore Chinatown Association and funded by the National Heritage Board.

Relating jobs with security. The initial idea was to introduce exciting occupations in the 1950s, such as gangsters of secret societies and coolie, laborer from China. However, the client rejected the unglamorous occupations to avoid any touchy subject. Eventually, the design focused on people who help built Singapore.
