charmaine poh 傅秀璇

is an artist working across film, photography, media and performance to peel apart, re-examine, and hold ideas of agency, repair, and the body across worlds. 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 is a participating artist in the 60th Venice Biennale - Foreigners Everywhere and was awarded Deutsche Bank’s “Artist of the Year” prize for 2025.
