2. National Heritage Board’s Digital Photography Series
National Heritage Board (NHB) has launched a new digital photography series, titled Our Hawker Culture: Built for Great Taste. The series feature 12 beloved hawker centres across the island, including familiar haunts like Tiong Bahru Market, heartland favourites like Tampines Round Market and Food Centre, as well as modern hawker centres like Pasir Ris Hawker Centre.
Comprising over 100 photographs, Our Hawker Culture: Built for Great Taste brings together the original works of four local photographers – Fabian Ong, Rebecca Toh, Khoo Guo Jie, and Lee Yik Keat. In this photo series, the four photographers zoom in on the architectural features of Singapore’s well-loved hawker centres to highlight the unique function of our “community dining rooms” in the respective communities and precincts.
Learn more about the hawker centres through the accompanying historical background information on Roots.gov.sg.
