Charmaine Poh 傅秀璇
is an artist working across film, photography, media, text and performance to peel apart, re-examine, and hold ideas of agency, repair, and the body across worlds and timelines. She aligns herself with strategies of visibility, opacity, deviance, and futurity.Based between Berlin and Singapore, she is a co-founder of the magazine Jom and a member of the Asian Feminist Studio for Art and Research (AFSAR). She was a participating artist in the 60th Venice Biennale - Foreigners Everywhere and was awarded Deutsche Bank’s 2025 Artist of the Year and the 2026 Villa Romana Prize.
