LITTLE INDIA
SINGAPORE
Singapore is known for its multi-cultural society, and
Little India has always played a vital role in maintaining
that image. The area is a vibrant enclave for Singapore’s
Indian community, yet one will find much ethnic diversity
within its midst.
In Little India, visitors are offered an insight into a
different side of Singapore - one steeped with the
heritage, traditions and cultural charm of our local Indian
community.
So what are you waiting for? Come experience a living
heritage of cultural authenticity through ARTWALK
LITTLE INDIA!

In the past, people traded cattle for a living,
and these people would hire Indian
migrants to work for them. The Indian
migrants would later form what we now
know as Little India. This mural painting of
cattle-trading serves as a reminder to the
residents of Little India of how far they
have come.
Inspired by his grandfather who used to be
a shopkeeper in Little India as well as a way
of paying homage to the quiet and diligent
individuals in this area who may not always
be recognised for their hard work, the artist
created a series of three outdoor video
installations of “hands at work” as
representations of different occupations in
Little India.
Impermanent Footprint
by Tinu Verghis
The artist will be creating street art with

footprints on the road. Each footprint is
colourful with intricate designs and motifs.
Visitors will be able to step on these
footprints to create colourful foot trails
around the precinct.
