person(a)

The names Leonardo da Vinci, Frida Kahlo and Cindy Sherman all have one thing in common; they were the pioneers of self-portraits. Back then, to create a self-portrait, you needed to have great skills. Today’s self-portrait is the selfie. Visual arts curator Sharmin Parameswaran partners with Vignes Balasingam to curate ‘person(a)’, examining the idea of self-reflection and what it means to reveal the innermost thoughts that shape a person. This group exhibition features 20 artists the curators felt would be at ease with self-reflection and, after which, would be comfortable with exposing what they find. Their works will be channelled through mediums that include photography, mixed media and installations
