Peihang Benoît, Let’s Go for a Great Hike in the Snow, 2024, oil, oil stick, and acrylic on linen, 63 x 47.2 inches/160 x 120 cm
Disobedient Bodies is an exhibition of works by noted women from seven Asian countries curated by Loredana Pazzini-Paracciani. On view are new and recent works by Nadiah Bamadhaj (b. 1968, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia), Peihang Benoît (b. 1984, Taiwan), Lê Hiền Minh (b. 1979, Vietnam), Maria Madeira (b. 1966, Timor-Leste), Charmaine Poh (b.1990, Singapore), Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook (b. 1957, Thailand), Soe Yu Nwe (b. 1989, Myanmar) and Pannaphan Yodmanee (b. 1988, Thailand).
Working across a range of mediums, the artists deconstruct rigid ideologies related to race, identity, tradition and sexuality. Whether it’s confronting historic trauma such as the abuse of Timorese women by the Indonesian military (1975–1999) or exploring contemporary concerns including reframing notions of parenting, their work sheds light on critical issues impacting women across the region and internationally.
At a time when female artists from countries such as Burma, Timor-Leste and Vietnam remain underrepresented on the global stage, this exhibition shines a much-needed spotlight on talent from Southeast Asia.
