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 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.
