[Panel] You Think You Know? Think Again: Hidden FacesIsa Kamari, Arin Alycia Fong, and Tham Cheng-E unpack our inner layers of self-presentation, personal struggles, and internalised cultural expectations, examining how they can sometimes shape, or distort, our understanding of ourselves. Speakers: Isa Kamari, Arin Alycia Fong, Tham Cheng-E First Impressions: Faces of FictionA prima facie that captivates and startles. Monumental works that transform perceptions and opinions.
