About the Event

The Archive aims to help participants preserve their life stories and leave a legacy behind through the arts and AI.

Through a guided workshop, participants take part in craft activities and meaningful conversations while youth artists draw their portraits. AI then helps capture and organise their stories into a shareable digital archive.

At the end, participants receive a hand-drawn portrait, their personal story, and their craft piece, allowing their memories to be shared with the next generation.

Hand-drawn portrait of Lim Kek Huey

Lim Kek Huey

When I was young, I did all kinds of work… even Samsui woman work. One time I fell from the sixth floor – sixth floor! – and still had to carry on. I went to the General Hospital, but on the way there, the bus got into an accident and I was flung so far away. Injury after injury, no chance to rest properly… every time something happened, I just had to keep going. Life was really hard back then. What to do – that was my fate.

When I was young, we lived in a kampung near Tekka with a very big backyard. My father was a carpenter, so he used his own hands to build small rooms behind the house for new immigrants who needed shelter. Some stayed for a short while, others stayed longer, and the backyard was always filled with people coming and going.

I worked in construction, carrying bricks, sand, wood… anything they asked me to carry. The work was hard, and the income was never stable. Some days had work, some days didn’t. One time, I had a very bad fall, really bad, until I could not continue doing that kind of heavy work anymore. After that, I became a hawker. Still tiring, still had to wake up early and work long hours, but at least the income was more stable. Life was not easy back then, but what to do… I just kept going.
