Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise

Discover the power of art through the perspectives of five trailblazing women artists from
Southeast Asia. Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise foregrounds their lives,
perspectives, and artistic practices, featuring over 45 works by Amanda Heng (Singapore),
Dolorosa Sinaga (Indonesia), Imelda Cajipe Endaya (Philippines), Nirmala Dutt (Malaysia), and
Phaptawan Suwannakudt (Thailand) – many of which are shown in Singapore for the first
time.

Fear No Power is National Gallery Singapore’s first major exhibition connecting and
comparing the practices of women artists from Southeast Asia. This landmark exhibition
highlights the significance of women-centred approaches in shaping modern and
contemporary art across the region. With artworks spanning painting, photography,
sculpture, and performance from the 1960s to 2010s alongside archival material, Fear No
Power honours the multi-faceted roles of these pioneering women as artists, educators,
writers and community organisers – telling a larger story of women’s empowerment in
Southeast Asia.
