January 11- March 8, 2025 | Sundaram Tagore Gallery, 5 Lock Road 01–05, Gillman Barracks, Singapore
Open: Tuesday-Friday 11am-6pm, Saturday 11am-7pm
In conjunction with Art SG 2025, Sundaram Tagore Gallery is proud to present an exceptional exhibition featuring works by renowned women artists from seven Asian countries. The showcase includes new and recent creations by Nadiah Bamadhaj (Malaysia), Peihang Benoît (Taiwan), Lê Hiền Minh (Vietnam), Maria Madeira (Timor-Leste), Charmaine Poh (Singapore), Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook (Thailand), Soe Yu Nwe (Myanmar), and Pannaphan Yodmanee (Thailand).
Supported by the Embassy of Italy in Singapore, the exhibition is curated by Italian scholar and independent curator Loredana Pazzini-Paracciani, a leading advocate for counter-hegemonic and non-Western-centric perspectives in Southeast Asian contemporary art.
The exhibition, Disobedient Bodies: Reclaiming Her, serves as a thought-provoking dialogue on the tensions between patriarchal societal expectations and female self-ownership. Through diverse media, the eight featured artists explore themes of gender, identity, and autonomy. By dismantling entrenched gender narratives and fostering discourse on emancipation and diversity, Pazzini-Paracciani offers a platform for reflection and engagement.
A digital publication featuring an in-depth curatorial essay by Pazzini-Paracciani accompanies the exhibition, providing further insights into the artists’ works and their global significance.
