An intentional sound space to drift through the eras of Malay music - together.

Dig through old Malay records and discover the sounds that shaped Geylang’s music scene with vinyl collectors and sound curators @vinylheavy and @itch_sg (together as @heavyitch).

Two eras. P. Ramlee & Friends and Pop Yeh Yeh. These rooms focus on appreciating the voices, sounds and cultural shifts that paved the way for Singapore’s music landscape today.

What memories bloom when you think of Geylang Serai?

In this experimental floral design workshop, we’ll explore the area’s cultural and personal stories through our 5 senses.

Using fresh produce from Geylang Serai Market — think lemongrass, coconut leaves, ginger and other seasonal items often found in traditional cooking and ceremonies — together with simple floral materials, you'll create an arrangement inspired by a personal or shared memory of the area.

To complete your piece, document your creation in a mini zine, an archive of your story in bloom and a keepsake to bring home from the garden of Geylang.

Geylang Serai has long been woven with stories of textiles, tailors and traditions passed from hand to hand. 

In this tactile workshop, we’ll thread together the connections between fabric, craft and community.

Threads of Geylang invites you to learn simple stitching, try textile stamping and upcycle old clothes with motifs inspired by the neighbourhood from batik prints to woven carpet patterns. 

Along the way, we’ll explore how fabric connects people, culture and nature, and how small acts of mending can renew more than just what we wear.

Step into the colourful past of Geylang Serai and uncover the stories behind its local businesses told through the humble name card. Once tools of trade and identity, these small prints carried big dreams, creativity, and pride in craft.

In this hands-on session, rediscover how design once shaped branding and storytelling in the area and make your own stamp-based name card inspired by traditional trades like songkok makers, perfumers or opticians.

Walk away with ink on your hands, your very own keepsake and a renewed appreciation for the artistry that shaped Geylang Serai’s entrepreneurial spirit.
