As part of UTS Global Goals Month and national Social Science Week, join us at the University of Technology Sydney on the 12th of September for the public reception of the photo exhibit 'On Sundays, We Play', a visual urban ethnography documenting the leisure practices of migrant domestic workers in Singapore, and a panel discussion with the project team on how we can build more inclusive and just cities.
View the photo exhibit and short ethnographic film and engage in a panel conversation with the project team about migration and cities, social resilience and marginalised migrants, and the transformative potential of informal sport and leisure. The event is also raising funds for this community via a limited edition photobook (published by Gantala Press) which will be available to purchase on the night and proceeds from the book sales will go back to helping the women run their Sunday volleyball leagues.
