love!

In it’s fifth year, Pink Dot Singapore is about supporting the freedom to love, regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation. The yearly campaign video, directed by award winning film-maker Boo Junfeng, always makes for a great emotional roller coaster. Here’s this year’s video, with music by Singaporean singer, song-writer and composer Dick Lee.

Japanese designer seems to all have the talent to distill an idea to the essence and then add that drop of embellishment to it that makes the product simply desirable. Oji Masanori is exactly such a talent. He’s products are simple, thoughtful, but at the same time, extremely precious and luxurious. Everything from a child-safe table corner bumper in buttery leather instead of the usual rubber  to a trivet that looks as good as it is useful, Oji’s eye and idea of everyday object can do no wrong…

I know we have all done it, pretending our sleeves to be our secret friends, bringing them out when no one’s looking; giving them names, backstories, moodswings… Now Mexican designer Alejandra Antónima made our fantasies a reality with PIO & DANTE, a fish and a chicken pair, together with storybooks to read along with. How cute is that! Support the project on Kickstarter.

A beautiful and touching campaign video by Singaporean Director Boo Junfeng of Sandcastle fame, for Pink Dot, a yearly event at Hong Lim Park where Singaporeans come together to show their support for the LGBT community of the freedom to love.

The social stigma that LGBT people carry is often overlooked when we talk about homosexuality. The freedom to love and the comfort of being yourself, things many LGBT people hope to have, are often taken for granted by straight people.  I felt that it was necessary to highlight everyday situations in which LGBT people experience such a stigma. Beyond the event on June 18, I hope the video will continue to empower and inspire empathy for LGBT people.
