#1 Welcome to Red Dot Voices
Red Dot Voices
Introduction to the Red Dot Voices series, its host, defining creativity, and what to expect in future episodes.
info_outlineFor this episode of Red Dot Voices, I spoke to Alvin Yapp.
In 2003, Alvin founded The Intan. As well as being his home in Joo Chiat, The Intan is a museum which is open to the public and houses his collection of over 5,000 Peranakan antiques.
The Intan has featured internationally on CNN, The Washington Post and even the Singapore Airlines safety video.
I was lucky enough to visit for the first time two years ago, and it was a really fun introduction to an area of Singaporean history I knew very little about. Alvin is a born storyteller and an authority on Peranakan culture.
For this interview we discussed what Peranakan culture is, how he learnt about his heritage growing up, his extensive travels, and some of the extraordinary stories behind items in his collection.
