Past & Present Lives of _______ sees Norah Lea, self-portrait artist, recreating visions of her own past lives. These visions are imagined through re-locating women of the Nusantara/Malay archipelago that may have been forgotten but still resonant within recesses of collective memory.

Mediating the past through both video and performances via her transgender body, she positions herself within history that is “tersirat”, or hidden in plain sight.
