“a room of one’s own” (and then it got legs) is anGie seah’s first solo exhibition in 7 years. Through social interventions, sculptures, videos, drawings and performance, anGie addresses society’s endemic crisis of empathy, and acts as commentary on the people and issues rendered invisible in society: How is it that, having an incredible capacity for empathy, humanity has built societies characterised by its very lack? The exhibition examines empathy through the notion of well-being, and how we deal with falling short of being well. This body of work explores wellness through pain and how we acknowledge, live with, adapt to, and overcome pain and physical incapacity. It is a quest to shape pain, to reinvent the everyday, to find awe and wonderment, and to be kind to ourselves and those around us.
