It showcases the many talents and wonderful insights that members of SCPA are happy to share, not necessarily encompassing all things Peranakan Cina. The short yet insightful video clips celebrate the diverse beauty of life from a joyful Cantonese ditty to the art of crafting contemporary beaded slippers and from the vanishing technique of starching a kebaya to the origins of a dazzling diamond-encrusted ibu kerongsang. Come, do join us on a journey of discovery as we take you through the realms of reality and fantasy of this diaspora of a unique culture.
