Synopsis
We often speak about and are surrounded by discourse about why representation is crucial in media, arts and culture, and everyday life. But what does representation actually mean? Is it simply about recognition and visibility of underrepresented communities? Who gets to represent them—just those with these authentic lived experiences or can allies speak for them too? And how can we distinguish true allyship from performativity and appropriation?
Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion featuring Fringe theatre-makers Rosie McGowan (A Lesbian Love Story: The Musical), Sindhura Kalidas (Invisible), Sofie Buligis (Celup), and Wang Ping-Hsiang (Retina Manoeuvre) in this important conversation facilitated by co-founder of ArtsEquator, Kathy Rowland. They will share their collective insights from their experiences not only with respect to their artistic creations at the Fringe, but also from their lives as part of diverse minorities.
Speech to text interpretation is available upon request. Please email your request to info@singaporefringe.com by 5 December 2025.
