Why Have There Been Great Women Designers?
Graduation Project | BA (Hons)
LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore
Atelier: Communities & Social Future, led by Yasser Suratman
This publication is inspired by feminist scholar, Linda Nochlin, and her essay titled Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? (1971). As a reflection and response, I brought this into Singapore’s context as I discuss how there are great women designers/artists in Singapore but are unfortunately underrepresented. The lack of representation indirectly contributes to even bigger issues such as gender inequality, discrimination and slow upward mobility – which is a shame as representation itself can be its remedy. It becomes almost like a vicious cycle in a problematic structure. I explored this further in my dissertation.
