Between Myth and Map

What happens when oral tradition meets urban exploration? How might storytelling become a collective act that marries folklore and archive?

Join Yong from The Urbanist Singapore and Kamini Ramachandran, Creative Producer of Story Scape, as they explore the art of storytelling across different mediums and methods. Both are storytellers who breathe life into Singapore’s spaces—one through urban trails that uncover hidden histories and geographies, the other through oral tradition that engages with heritage through performance and folklore.

In this intimate conversation, discover how contemporary acts of storytelling can bridge heritage education with creative expression, and how social media and live performance offer unique pathways to connect communities to place. Glean insights into how the personal act of noticing can transform our relationship with the city we inhabit, and how we can continually find new ways to tell its stories.

This talk is part of Story Scape, a 10-day festival co-presented by The Everyday Museum and StoryFest, with venue support by RASA.
