Curator Tour (Mandarin) | He Xiangning: Ink & Intent 策展人导览 (华语) | 何香凝: 画就丹青凭寄意
Sat 22 Aug | 7.30pm | National Gallery Singapore, City Hall Wing, Level 4, Wu Guanzhong Gallery | Registration required: $55 (Standard), $50 (Concession); https://www.nationalgallery.sg/sg/en/guided-tours/Curator-Tour-Mandarin-He-Xiangning-Ink-and-Intent.html
Led by Curator Lim Shujuan, this special evening tour will offer an in-depth exploration of the artistic and ideological world of He Xiangning. A pioneering woman artist, she was also a social activist who used artistic expression to convey ideas of resilience, solidarity and women’s agency.
Moving through the exhibition, we will consider how her recurring motifs, plum blossoms, lions and tigers, speak both to personal fortitude and to a nation in transformation. Situating her works within the political upheavals of modern China, this tour invites you to reflect on the entanglement of art and social ideas. Through close reading of her paintings, poems, calligraphies and archival materials, we will trace how ink morphs into intent – and how art becomes testimony to a turbulent age.
*Please note that this curator tour will be delivered in Mandarin and take place after exhibition opening hours.
**In addition to the tour, you will also receive two All Access tickets valid for 3 months (worth $30 for Singaporeans/PRs, $60 for Other Nationalities)
本次导览由策展人林淑娟带领，邀请您一同走进何香凝的艺术与思想世界。作为一名先驱女性艺术家与社会活动家，何氏以创作回应时代，作品传递坚韧精神、团结力量与女性自主意识。
本次导览邀请您一同细看她画中反复出现的意象——梅狮虎。这些形象既承载着她的内心情感，也映照着一个变动中的时代与国家。结合中国近现代的社会与政治背景，本次导览将带您思考艺术与社会之间的联接。通过她的水墨画、诗作、书法与相关文献，我们将一同体会水墨是如何成为思想的载体，又如何成为那个动荡年代的一种见证。
*本次策展人导览将于闭馆后进行，导览语言为华语。
**参与导览的观众还将获赠两张展览通行证，有效期为三个月（新加坡公民/永久居民价值30新元，其他国籍人士价值60新元）。
