Celebrate International Women’s Day at National Gallery Singapore

In celebration of International Women’s Day, National Gallery Singapore is curating a line-up of events and activities thoughtfully designed to inspire, energise, and uplift. Through guided sessions, gentle moments of reflection, and time set aside to enjoy art and culture, these programmes invite you to find space to rest, participate, and reconnect – with yourself, and with the community around you. 

What’s more, all women are entitled to free General Admission tickets, allowing them access to all exhibitions at National Gallery Singapore.

The Powers That Shape Us 

Thursday, 5 March 2026 

6.30 – 8pm 

The Ngee Ann Kongsi Auditorium & Foyer, Level B1, City Hall Wing, National Gallery Singapore 

$5/pax | $2 for Gallery Insiders, registration required 

Inspired by our exhibition Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise, The Powers that Shape Us is a panel co-organised with Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE), looking at how policies affecting women’s lives in Singapore have shifted and manifested over the years. This is the first in a series of panels on the Gallery's ongoing exhibitions. 

We will be joined with perspectives from Founding Member of AWARE and Singapore's first female Nominated Member of Parliament, Dr. Kanwaljit Soin; Executive Director of AWARE, Lim Shoon Yin; Founder of the Fellowship of Men Singapore, Ben Ang; and moderated by Chancellor of Bath University, Shanranjit Leyl. They will explore how structures can both open and close doors, and what it takes to build a society that protects women’s rights.

International Women’s Day at the Gallery
