Listen "The Role of An Artist At a Time Like This | Episode 5"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the 5th episode of Wei-Ling Gallery Podcast! This time, we speak with gallery owner Lim Wei-Ling and writer Mae Chan, on what the role of an artist is today. Artists evoke different reflections on our reality through their work. However, which of these artworks impact us? How many of them talk about our times and what we face as an individual or society? What importance does an artist’s creation hold in our lives? Most of all, how do you tell whether an artist is playing their role? Through this conversation, the two speakers discuss how artists contribute in rewriting our history through the power of images, and how artworks can evoke multiple narratives, conversations and activism.
