Random Blends Project Presentation

Preparation for Random Blends Exhibition

In the lead-up to the final presentation of our #HumanMe social change project, our team prepared a series of visual collaterals and posters that would best explicate the employment and living conditions of Singapore's migrant community as well as the key issue of dehumanisation that our project keenly focuses on.

The final collaterals can be seen below:

We also surmised the key goals and project's focus in the following posters:

A key visual and auditory tactic to reach out to our target population of working adults, our group filmed and produced a 9 min video clip that highlighted the routine abuses and human rights violations that migrant workers regularly encounter in their living and employment spaces. Some of the explored salient issues include workplace abuse, inadequate rest time and the withholding of salaries. We effectively highlighted the disparity between the lived experiences of migrant workers with that of regular working Singaporeans by conducting a street poll and posing a series hypothetical questions that encompass scenarios that the migrant community experience on a daily basis.

Project and Video Presentation

Our team presented our key findings and project's strategy and tactics on the second day of the 2018 Random Blends exhibition held at NUS' UTown. In doing so, we solicited opinions and reflections from individuals who visited our booth, who subsequently penned their thoughts down on coloured post-its (which were later displayed and pinned on our booth). The responses we received were largely favourable and many visitors were receptive to our campaign's key message in humanising the lived experiences of the migrant community as they learnt more about the exploitation structural conditions that many migrant workers are exposed to. A key theme arising from such short anecdotes was a need to accord migrant workers with the necessary respect that they deserve and to ultimately treat them as fellow equals.
