Visit to Katong Antique House (Peranakan cultural heritage tour)
The present, is up to you to interpret and to reinvent. - Baba Peter Wee.
In January 2015, nanoKnowledge's David Tham visited the heritage areas of Katong in Singapore, and Malacca in Malaysia, to research the history, culture, and stories of the ethnic group/culture known locally as the Peranakan. During his Singapore visit, David visited Mr Peter Wee, the President of the Peranakan Association of Singapore and proprietor of the famous Katong Antique House.
If you are not a local or regular visitor to the region of Singapore / Malaysia, you may be wondering what is Peranakan? In this really easy-to-understand video clip, Baba Peter Wee introduces you to Peranakan culture and shares a peek into what the future holds as Singapore looks beyond its 50th anniversary of national independence, past 2015.

거리를 걷다가 앤틱하우스라고 쓰여 진 한 건물을 발견했다. 처음에는 우리나라 인사동에 있는 골동품점 정도로만 생각했는데 알고보니 중국계와 말레이계 사이에서 태어난 혼혈인 페라나칸이 살고 있는 가정집이었다. “저는 페라나칸인데 남자는 ‘바바’, 여자는 ‘논야’라고 부릅니다. 제가 싱가포르에 사는 페라나칸 4대 후손이지요. 제 조상은 말라카에서 왔어요.” 이 집에서 3대째 살고 있다는 집주인이 페라나칸 문화를 알리기 위해 수집했다는 생활용품 장식 등이 집안 가득 전시돼 있었는데 한쪽 벽면에는 페라나칸의 역사라 할 수 있는 가족들의 사진이 걸려있었다. 16세기 말레이시아의 말라카섬에 정착해 말레이인과 결혼한 중국 상인들은 19세기 싱가포르가 무역항으로 발전하면서 이곳으로 이주하게 된다. 그들의 후손이 바로 페라나칸이다. “우리는 언제나 과거를 기억합니다. 저는 과거를 알아야 현재를 이해할 수 있다고 생각해요. 그리고 현재를 알아야 미래를 맞이할 수 있는 겁니다. 이 ‘조상의 홀’ 덕분에 과거와 가족사를 알게 되는 거죠.“ 페라나칸 여자들이 입는 전통이라며 내게 보여준 사롱이라는 치마는 전체적으로는 말레이풍이지만 새겨진 문양은 새를 모티브로 한 중국풍이다. 페라나칸 문화는 중국, 말레이, 유럽의 문화가 섞여있는 독특한 느낌이었다.

페라나칸의 가옥이 잘 보존되어 있다는 카통 빌리지를 찾았다. 전통가옥을 감상하기에는 좀 산만한 느낌이었다. 그리고 사실, 뭘 봐야 할지도 잘 모르겠다. 마침 산책중인 주민에게 설명을 부탁했다. “대표적인 거예요. 상징이죠. 중국적인 것이 아니라 싱가포르 특유의 것이죠.” 페라나칸 가옥의 특징은 단지 둥근 창틀만이 아니라고 했다. 외벽에 붙어있는 화사한 타일들과 처마 밑의 검정과 하얀색의 뾰족한 장식도 페라나칸이 사는 집의 특징이라고 한다. 텐티는 직접 나를 데리고 다니며 페라나칸 가옥의 특징을 설명해 줬다. 싱가포르를 구성하는 다양한 민족은 이렇게 서로 섞여가면서도 새로운 정체성을 만들어가며 살아왔다. 텐디 본인은 정작 페라나칸이 아니었다. 하지만 그녀의 가정은 싱가포르 민족, 그 자체였다. “저희 어머니가 논야(페라나칸 여성)거든요. 사실 친어머니는 아닌데, 왜냐하면 제 아버지가 결혼을 세 번. 제 아버지는 아내가 세분이에요. 첫 번째 아내가 파라나칸이죠. 두 번째 아내가 제 어머니, 세 번째 아내가 말레이시아분이세요.” 갈등이 없지는 않았지만 이제 싱가포르의 민족과 종교는 경계없이 섞여있다.

Home of a Peranakan Family since 1861
The Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum is located in Melaka, a World UNESCO Site. The house is a combination of three terrace lots that were acquired by the Chan family in 1861. Four generations lived in the house before it was opened as a museum in March 1985.
Today the museum is still managed by the family with a vision of reviving the Malaysia’s Peranakan identity and heritage. By preserving this house for visitors and students the museum hope to honour the Peranakan spirit, keeping it alive for many generations to come!
