She Who Is Watching
Wei-Ling Contemporary presents 鈥楽HE WHO IS WATCHING鈥, a group show that explores the position of both women and artists as observers. Six female artists share stories and point of views that are personal to that of a woman while addressing significant issues that mark our times; gender, discrimination, migration, and ecology.
Often, women around the world are confronted with traditional stereotypes and expectations of how they should be 鈥 based on their sex, racial and religious identities. Moreover, the history of patriarchal law and its established norms and values has perpetuated injustice towards women. With these in mind, 鈥楽HE WHO IS WATCHING鈥 aims to share the lived experiences of these artists collectively. Ranging from video works to installation, each artist suggests a more active, critical and inclusive way of looking at the issues that concern us all.
The coming together of these artists from Southeast Asia, North Africa, the Middle East and Europe aim to share their ideas on what a non-gender biased world might look like. Bringing forward the importance of balance within opinions, actions, rights and roles between genders. This exhibition is merely a small portion of the landscape of voices that ought to be amplified transnationally. The presence of this exhibition in Malaysia attempts to trigger critical expressions in response to local debates surrounding sex, racial and religious inclusivity that lack attention; a resist against intolerance.
