The UOB Southeast Asia Gallery is temporarily closed and will reopen in late 2027. In the meantime, works from the National Collection remain exhibited across the Gallery. 

Educator, comic book author and editor CT Lim, together with Gallery curator Lim Shujuan, explore how political art became a powerful tool for resistance and expression across mediums such as cartoons and woodcuts in Singapore.

Focusing on the life and career of artist and cartoonist Tchang Ju Chi, we will explore how artists translated complex ideas into a single, compelling image through the use of symbolism and visual metaphor. By tracing the historical context of these works to today’s zines and independent publications, understand how visual storytelling continues to invite reflections and thoughts.
