From Brush to Lens: Early Chinese Photography Studios in Singapore

More commonly associated with museums and cultural arts groups today, Stamford Road and its surrounding precinct (stretching from Hill Street to South Bridge Road and Chinatown) was actually a vibrant hub of photography studios in the 1890s – many of which were Chinese photography studios. In tracing the growth of these photography studios, and through examining the photographs captured, visitors will be provided with a clear illustration of an evolving, modern and cosmopolitan Singapore, and gain an understanding of Singapore’s early beginnings as a migrant society. A selection of these photographs and the stories behind them will be spotlighted at the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall (SYSNMH)’s latest special exhibition, From Brush to Lens: Early Chinese Photography Studios in Singapore, which runs from 2 November 2019 till 3 May 2020.

Venue: Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, 12 Tai Gin Rd, Singapore 327874

When: 2 Nov 2019 - 3 May 2020, 10am - 5pm

By: Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall
