PARALLEL LIVES Synopsis Is a twin
8 November to 11 November 2017
Showcasing the members’ artworks from the Korean Women’s Association in Singapore, the exhibition theme of “Embrace – 품다” will bring you a showcase of Botanical Arts, Oriental Arts, Ceramics, Korean Folk arts and French Embroidery.
What would you do if you find yourself stranded in a Foreign Land? “Embrace” is the word that our members have chosen.
Through the threads, papers and brushes, the artworks in this exhibition show the desire to embrace a new world and to grow. Art is a means to communicate with others and oneself. The artworks are our stretched hand to embrace the new world. This exhibition is to showcase how Korean ladies embrace the new world in their lives.
The Korean Women’s Association in Singapore was established on the 28th of October 2008 to promote the wellness and enrichment of Korean women living in Singapore.

In the Batik Introduction Handkerchief Painting workshop, participants will learn the traditional art of batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique originating from Indonesia. The workshop begins with a brief history and overview of batik, highlighting its cultural significance and various techniques. Participants will then observe a demonstration of applying wax with tjanting tools and dyeing the fabric. Following the demonstration, each participant will design and create their own batik handkerchief, applying wax to create patterns and then dyeing their fabric. The workshop concludes with a group discussion, allowing participants to share their creations and reflect on their learning experience.
