The Public Life of Women, Nepal Picture Library
The 5th edition of Women in Film and Photography looks at how art can be a force for awareness and action against discrimination, repression and injustice. Curated to the theme “Remedy for Rage”, the programme features the works of 11 artists and 5 filmmakers, many of whom are showing works in Singapore for the first time.
The programme is anchored by a group exhibition that will showcase the work of 6 international photographers. They include Singaporean Lenne Chai, World Press Photo prize winner Taslima Akter from Bangladesh, and Iranian photographer Hoda Afshar, winner of the prestigious Bowness Photography Prize. Their works traverse a broad range of international and local issues, from memorialising Bangladeshi garment workers killed in the factory collapse of 2013, to circulating the life stories and images of women that have been forgotten by history.
Says programme curator and Centre Director for Objectifs, Emmeline Yong,
By showing these works, we hope to celebrate, enrich and underline the necessity of diverse voices and representation.
