Sundaram Tagore Gallery is pleased to present Disobedient Bodies: Reclaiming Her an exhibition of works by noted women from seven Asian countries, including LE Hien Minh (ACC 2022), curated by Loredana Pazzini-Paracciani during Singapore Art Week, 2025. At a time when female artists from countries such as Burma, Timor-Leste and Vietnam remain underrepresented on the global stage, this exhibition shines a much-needed spotlight on talent from Southeast Asia.

Working across a range of mediums, the artists deconstruct rigid ideologies related to race, identity, tradition and sexuality. Whether it’s confronting historic trauma such as the abuse of Timorese women by the Indonesian military (1975–1999) or exploring contemporary concerns including reframing notions of parenting, their work sheds light on critical issues impacting women across the region and internationally.
