“I know not every domestic worker is like me.Some employers might be good as can be.But I’m one of the hidden that you can’t see or hear.All I need is your help. Please get me out of here.”-- CRY OF THE HIDDEN by Bhing Navato (Foreign Domestic Worker and Poet)2020 has been a rollercoaster ride for everyone, especially for the migrants living among us.We see these people every day.They are our construction workers who have built our homes, roads, and offices.They are our domestic workers who form the bedrock of our society through caregiving for our seniors and young children.They are our Malaysian workers who have travelled across the causeway to make a living and support their families.But they are so much more than the work they do.On 27 December 2020, A Good Space and Tzu Chi Humanistic Youth Centre present 2020 Reflections: Voices Of Our Migrants.About This EventThis event was designed together with our migrant friends to understand what would make it meaningful for them. They've expressed a desire for their stories to be heard, and for their artistic skills and talents across different migrant communities to be celebrated.That's why we're having a panel exploring how 2020 has been for our migrant friends, through the art that they make.We'll also have a chance to envision 2021 with them by creating and sharing our own art!Through their artworks and expressions, we hope you'll come to see the richness in the lives of our migrant friends, beyond the work that they do for us in Singapore.
