Visual Art: National Gallery Singapore’s ‘Fear No Power – Women Imagining Otherwise’

Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise is not only an act of defiance against entrenched systems of authority; it is also a quiet injunction directed inward.

Across five artistic practices, the exhibition foregrounds … Continue reading Visual Art: National Gallery Singapore’s ‘Fear No Power – Women Imagining Otherwise’

A large, gated building emerges, its blackened exterior giving little away, with only a narrow opening through which to enter the premises … Continue reading Dib Bangkok: Bangkok’s newest art museum brings the unseen, the unsaid and the unknown into focus with opening exhibition ‘Invisible Presence’

This January, the Singapore Chinese Orchestra’s concert hall will fill with sounds that are at once ancient and unmistakably modern.
