Gender Collective – Assistant Curator (March 2016)

I worked as part of a team to curate an exhibition called “To Rehumanize, To Reconnect” which featured a series of paintings and photographs produced by individuals in Singapore who had been involved in sex work, including those who had been involved in human trafficking. The exhibition’s intention was to incite understanding and acceptance for a group of people who had suffered trauma, societal prejudice and stigmatisation.

 Negotiated and worked with artists, discussed the arrangement of artworks and maintained the space.  Advertised the exhibition in the seminar centre of the National University of Singapore, and addressed students and staff to encourage them to attend the event. The high turnout for the exhibition was a testament to my success.  Answered questions and lead groups of guests around the space, I was able to speak extensively and sensitively.
