Here are two paintings by Nirmala Dutt (1941-2016, Malaysia) who researched wayang kulit and used them as inspiration, Anti-Nuclear Piece (1988) and Friends in Need (1986). Now at the National Gallery Singapore’s exhibit, “Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise”, she presents the main actors of Cold War tensions like puppet masters pulling the strings of history. Adopting wayang kulit’s symbolic language to reinforce her anti-war stance, Nirmala Dutt observes: "We associate social criticism with the West... but there is a tradition of social criticism in the East. Wayang kulit is another example."

Happy International Women’s Day!
