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.
