We have recently moved back to Phase 2 but the Hari Raya celebration must go on!
Enjoy the celebration with The National Heritage Board this year. NHB had prepared a slew of online and on-site activities and programmes across the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) and Malay Heritage Centre (MHC) this year!
From outdoor installations and online cooking tutorials to journeying through traditional Malay fashion over the years and craft activities. This year you get to enjoy all of them from the comfort of your own home!
6. Urang Banjar: Heritage and Culture of the Banjar in Singapore
Urang Banjar: Heritage and Culture of the Banjar in Singapore is the fifth instalment in the Malay Heritage Centre. The Heritage Centre’s ‘Se-Nusantara’ series of community co-curated exhibition and programmes on the ethnic-cultural and diversity of the Malay community in Singapore.
This year, the exhibition focuses on the Banjarese community or ‘Urang Banjar’. They are arguably the smallest group that make up the Malay community in Singapore. Many of them are able to trace the journeys of their ancestors from South Kalimantan in Singapore from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries. They also share a common ancestral language, material culture as well as a distinctive set of cultural norms and practices. The exhibition introduces the Urang Banjar as well as their culture and identity. Through ethnographic objects, community stories and treasured family belongings, it showcases their strong sense of kinship, industry and history.
