Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise highlights the lives and practices of five artists from Southeast Asia for whom art, life, kinship and community are inseparable. Featuring Imelda Cajipe Endaya (Philippines), Nirmala Dutt (Malaysia), Amanda Heng (Singapore), Dolorosa Sinaga (Indonesia), and Phaptawan Suwannakudt (Thailand), the exhibition honours their multi-faceted roles—not only as artists, but also as educators, writers or community organisers.
Featuring works from the 1960s to the 2010s—decades shaped by decolonisation, developmentalism, Cold War tensions, and sweeping societal changes—the exhibition traces how these artists forged paths that were deeply personal and profoundly political. Their practices reflect their enduring commitment to conceiving more equitable worlds through personal, political, and material expression. By bringing these five practices into constellation, the exhibition offers a nuanced and situated account of evolving feminisms in Southeast Asia through these artists’ perspectives.
