What do the daughters of immigrants inherit? Language, trauma, resilience, cultural values – all of these form an invisible intergenerational inheritance. “the blur is like—” is an immersive, multi-sensory exhibition exploring how the female body inherits memory and culture across time and space. Against the backdrop of migration and cultural displacement, we interrogate the transmission of intergenerational beliefs, revealing stories of both resilience and burden through women’s lived experiences. Rather than viewing tradition and modernity as binary opposites, we propose a fluid model of inheritance—one that honours continuity while celebrating transformation.
Audiences are invited to actively engage with visceral narratives that make tangible the weight of inherited histories and the liberating potential of technology and movement. “the blur is like—” seeks not only to provoke reflection but to foster dialogue and connection, creating a dynamic space where inherited memories are honoured, questioned, and reimagined.
Through movement, interactive installations, audience participation and sensory engagement, this presentation seeks to actively engage the local community in a meaningful dialogue around migration, identity, and cultural heritage, through the lens of the female body. We seek to build an immersive experience that connects individual stories to universal ones.
This exhibition takes its title from a poem by Wong May, a poet born in wartime China and raised in Singapore. Her poetry dwells in uncertainty, in the soft edges of memory and belonging, and speaks to what is carried across borders and generations—language, silence, tenderness, loss.
Like Wong May’s work, “the blur is like—” explores inheritance not as something fixed, but as something felt through the body. In these gestures of migration, ritual, and care, we trace the blurred lines between past and present, home and elsewhere.
