Spotlight on Women in Photography: ‘Her Lens, Her Narrative’ Exhibition

This year, the spotlight turns towards recognizing and celebrating women in photography. Titled ‘Her Lens, Her Narrative,’ the exhibition features the works of five incredibly talented female photographers.

The exhibition proudly showcases the works of two accomplished Singaporean photographers, Rebecca Toh and Michele Fong, alongside international talents: Daria Troitskaia from Russia, Nicole Tung from Hong Kong, and Shanghai-based photographer Teresa Qin.
