THIS EVENT IS FREE SEATING. Please note that this screening is strictly NC16. Underage patrons will not be granted entry. About the Panel — 'Dreaming Her: Exploring Womanhood in Creative Practice' with Leong Puiyee, Marylyn Tan and Nurul Atiqah Zaidi Using PAPRIKA as a springboard, this fireside-style conversation explores how creative works influence perceptions of femininity and identity across mediums. Speakers reflect on their own practices, the responsibilities of representing womanhood, and the impact these portrayals may have. Moderated by lead curator Phyllis Chan. Leong Puiyee: Leong Puiyee is a film programmer and arts manager. She has managed projects and film programmes throughout her career, including being on the pre-selection jury for Asia Project Market, Busan International Film Festival. She is currently the Programme Head (Film) at Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film in Singapore. Marylyn Tan: Marylyn Tan is a writer, artist and menace. Fair of verse and foul of mouth, she has built her body of work on working with the body. She subverts shame to reclaim power and emancipate the endangered. She loves the connection between the unlikely. Her first book, GAZE BACK (Lambda loser), made her the first woman in history to win the Singapore Literature Prize for Poetry. Nurul Atiqah Zaidi: Nurul Atiqah Zaidi is a Singaporean interdisciplinary performance artist working through embodied research, positioning performance as an epistemic methodology. Her practice examines fetish as a technology of power and reclaims movement as counter-gesture. She has presented internationally and is currently completing a BA (Hons) in Fine Arts at NAFA, where she develops performance as a feminist mode of knowledge production.
