The Street Tailor

The mural that adorns the façade along 102 Dunlop Street encompasses threads of discretion, humility and timelessness that draw inspiration from the professions of street vendors in Little India, paying homage to the dedication of street vendors who, through their unassuming professions, embody values that transcend time. At the heart of the mural stands a discreet street tailor, a symbolic figure deeply rooted in patience and the present moment — to mend and fix, a contrast to the fast-paced rhythm of our modern society. The Street Tailor captures the essence of this unassuming profession, illuminating its nobility and resilience, a craft once thought to be inconceivable in the context of contemporary urban life, emerges as a testament to the strength of tradition regardless of societal judgement. In the corners of a bustling and progressive city, these artisans quietly persevere; their craft serving as a poignant remind of the beauty found in simplicity.

The Street Tailor epitomises and celebrates the enduring spirit of craftsmanship and the dignify inherent in humble pursuits. It prompts reflection on the coexistence of tradition and progress, that urges us to appreciate the timeless values embedded in the culture of Little India. The mural serves as a reminder of the beauty in the unassuming, the strength in the discreet, and the significance in honouring the timeless threads that connect us across generations.
