The sixth edition of Objectifs’ Women in Film and Photography presents the works of artists from Southeast Asia, South Asia and East Asia, exploring the theme of Inheritance.

Through rich and varied stories about familial connections and memories, identity and loss, and public and private histories, the works in Inheritance seek to understand who we are. Combining documentary, reportage, autobiographical, archival, constructed tableaux and fictional narratives, the lines between genres, and artist and subject blur in this edition’s showcase. The artists draw from their experiences and encounters, offering us perspectives that are deeply personal yet familiar.

The works in this year’s exhibition were selected from an Open Call, and are curated by Emmeline Yong and Leong Puiyee.
