Art can question, provoke, and spark conversations that challenge how we see ourselves and others. Drawing from two exhibitions that explores the erotic and the body, Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise and Passion is Volcanic: Desire in Southeast Asian Art, the Gallery presents Under Our Skin - a series of talks on gender, power, desire, social norms and cultural dynamics.
Inspired by our exhibition Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise, this panel is co-organised with Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE) and looks at how policies affecting women’s lives in Singapore have shifted and manifested over the years.
With perspectives from AWARE, activists, and community organizers, we explore how structures can both open and close doors, and what it takes to build a society that protects women’s rights.

Our bodies remember what the world often forgets: pain, pleasure, labour, trauma, and transformation. This panel looks at how memories is carried in bodies, how those experiences are interpreted by others and how women reclaim their bodies. More information coming soon.
Timed with Mother’s Day, this panel uses “mother” as an umbrella for women who lead, inspire and shape the lives of others. Bringing together speakers who are “mothers” in different ways, this panel asks how vulnerability and reinvention are not the opposite of strength, but part of what makes it real. More information coming soon.
