Film fanatics, don’t miss out on ArtScience Museum’s upcoming exhibition Goddess: Brave. Bold. Beautiful. Curated by ACMI (Australia’s national museum of screen culture), Goddess is set to debut in Asia at the ArtScience Museum on April 6, 2024. Get ready to uncover 120 years of moving image history featuring stories, costumes, sketches, interactive experiences, as well as the pillars behind these wonderful masterpieces.
Goddess is also part of ArtScience Museum's Year of Extraordinary Women. Differing from the original exhibition, Singapore’s version of the show will focus on Asian film icons like Maggie Cheung, Michelle Yeoh and local superstar Fann Wong.
It will also shine a spotlight on Asian film stars from Hong Kong, Japan, India, and Singapore, alongside other countries such as America, Australia and Europe. Other notable film icons to expect are, the one and only Marilyn Monroe, equal rights activist Laverne Cox, and Chinese American Hollywood star Anna May Wong. All of them are influential female figures in the film and television industry that have transcended stereotypes and influenced ideas of femininity through their representation on screen.
Visitors can indulge in a special collection of over 150 costumes, artefacts, and objects, curated to depict captivating visual stories of women in film. Dive into never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage, archival materials, projections, and authentic costumes to reveal the untold stories of these stars.
There will also be several programmes happening alongside the exhibition. Take part in a guided tour at $5 per participant, as well as a stunt masterclass conducted by stunt professionals from Ronin Action Group. And of course, a film exhibition will not be complete without film screenings, at no cost at all.
