retirement plan/pelan persaraan: A performance along the Rail Corridor by Tini Aliman and Cristiana Cott  Sat, 27 Apr | 4–5pm Meet at Spooner Road entrance to the Rail Corridor, opposite Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal Free (registration required)retirement plan/pelan persaraan is an homage to the human and non-human beings that resided in, traversed across, perished within or were displaced from the Rail Corridor. This performance, conceived by sound artist Tini Aliman and performance artist Cristiana Cott, asks: As we connect to the ground on which we walk and pay attention to the soundscapes of local sites, can we discover who was here originally, how they arrived and for what reasons? Can we also shift away from the binaries that structure colonial thought, such as self/other, human/animal and culture/nature?Before the introduction of the national archival system, songs and melodies were modes of ancestral storytelling and served as historical documentation of lives and events. The postwar years ushered in the radio as a form of mass media and popular entertainment in Singapore. This performance references the format of Radio Malaya, exploring how sound can conjure memories that resist the state's built environment, art historiography and cultural history, providing alternative narratives that shape both community and nation.retirement plan/pelan persaraan is inspired by The Everyday Museum’s self-guided audio trail episode Speaking of which: A Living Blueprint, which features sound compositions and field recordings by Tini Aliman as well. This performance is part of A Weekend with The Everyday Museum, organised by The Everyday Museum, a public art initiative by Singapore Art Museum. A Weekend with The Everyday Museum is a series of programmes surrounding our ongoing public art commissions.
