The installation will comprise artefacts from graves exhumed for the construction of Lornie Highway.
SINGAPORE – By August, dozens of Bukit Brown Cemetery gravestones marking graves that were exhumed to make way for Lornie Highway will stand in the cemetery once again, as part of a new outdoor installation situated by the highway.
SHS vice-president Natalie Pang said the installation is a significant milestone in the advocacy efforts for Bukit Brown Cemetery – a site earmarked for housing in the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s long-term plan, unveiled in 2022. Dr Pang said that while some expressed concerns on the use of gravestones and tomb parts, workshop participants recognised that the unclaimed items “still were important objects from Singapore’s history” and could play a role in educating future generations.
Mr Kok said that in addition to sounds from the highway and from the cemetery’s greenery, visitors’ voices will give the artefacts “a life of their own”. The juxtaposition of sounds, reflected by the gravestones that made way for development, “reminds us that we, the living, are responsible to the ecosystem we live in”, he said.
