The partnership project between Singh and the Auckland Resettled Community Coalition (ARCC), The Journey of a Million Miles Begins with One Step (exhibited as part of Headland Sculpture on the Gulf, 2017) contributed to a research project on learning 'in' intense environments and less distinct educational settings led by Dr Sarah Healy from The University of Melbourne, Australia.
