(Un)bound is a collaborative project that gives an intimate view into the lives of trans men and women living in Singapore. Through portraits, journal entries and scrapbooking, these stories reflect on experiences of struggle, resilience, and coping strategies amidst the challenges of gender norms in society.

This exhibition is the culmination of the Objectifs Documentary Award, Emerging Category. The Objectifs Documentary Award champions Objectifs’ mission to broaden perspectives through image making, by supporting original voices in visual storytelling in Singapore and the wider region. Selected by a panel of five judges, the awardees were given professional and financial support to work on their projects over a nine month-long period.

This project was first developed with the support of Exactly Foundation.
