Discover the power of art through the perspectives of five trailblazing women artists from Southeast Asia. Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise foregrounds their lives, perspectives, and artistic practices, featuring over 50 works by Amanda Heng (Singapore), Dolorosa Sinaga (Indonesia), Imelda Cajipe-Endaya (Philippines), Nirmala Dutt (Malaysia), and Phaptawan Suwannakudt (Thailand) – many of which are shown in Singapore for the first time.
Fear No Power is National Gallery Singapore’s first major exhibition connecting and comparing the practices of women artists from Southeast Asia. This landmark exhibition highlights the significance of women-centred approaches in shaping modern and contemporary art across the region. With artworks spanning painting, photography, sculpture, and performance from the 1960s to 2010s alongside archival material, Fear No Power honours the multi-faceted roles of these pioneering women as artists, educators, writers and community organisers – telling a larger story of women’s empowerment in Southeast Asia.
