At the National Gallery Singapore, Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise brings together a powerful constellation of voices reshaping how art engages with systems of authority and possibility. This significant exhibition charts the interconnected lives and practices of five Southeast Asian artists—Nirmala Dutt (Malaysia), Imelda Cajipe Endaya (Philippines), Amanda Heng (Singapore), Phaptawan Suwannakudt (Thailand), and Dolorosa Sinaga (Indonesia)—whose work defies imposed categories and resists any singular or fixed definition of feminism.

Spanning the 1960s to the 2010s—a period shaped by decolonization, Cold War tensions, and profound social transformations—this event celebrates their multifaceted contributions, not only as artists, but also as educators, writers, and community advocates. Five fearless women. One shared vision of art and empowerment.
