Women in Film & Photography 2025: What We Carry
Presented by Objectifs
Chapel Gallery, Objectifs
2 Oct to 23 Nov 2025
The eighth edition of Objectifs’ Women in Film and Photography presents the works of artists from Southeast Asia, South Asia and East Asia, responding to the theme of What We Carry.
What do we hold on to across our lives, generations and geographies? When is the act of carrying a marker of hope, resilience, resistance, or choice, and when is it not? What we bear can inform our identities, our journeys, and our connections to the world around us. How do we decide when to keep holding on, and when it is time to let go? After all, we carry to be able to carry on, carry over, and carry forward.
Through rich and layered narratives, the works in this programme explore individual and collective histories, environments, and lived experiences. The artists offer points of care, imagination, solidarity, and community, inviting new perspectives on what we choose to preserve, and the stories we choose to carry forward.
