Out in Singapore: Leslie Kee's exhibition of the country's LGBTQ community


Recommended Posts

Out In Singapore

 

Out In Singapore is a project spearheaded by internationally renowned fashion photographer and film director Leslie Kee. Kee’s wish is to introduce the Singaporean public to the diverse faces of the local lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community and humanise what it means to be LGBTQ.

From July 5 to 29, 2018 an exhibition will be held of Intermission @ The Projector of stunning photographic portraits of over 150 LGBTQ people living in Singapore. Through the exhibition Kee enables conversations around the difficult topics of sexuality, gender, acceptance and belonging. Every shot exudes Kee’s flair for vibrant, witty and heartfelt portraiture.

By using online and commercial spaces for the exhibition the Out In Singapore participants were given a rare platform to reveal and celebrate their true selves, some for the first time publicly.

Here is a selection from Project 001 of Out In Singapore

Good effort to bring more visibility.

 

Cant help but notice relatively small no of over 40s and under-represented professions like teachers. Some gay men and women whose love is simply more denied by society. I wish them well.

Because what you wish to see (all can be found in porn) and what the photographer were aiming  is of totally different directions 

 

U came to an art exhibition with hoping to see sexy, luscious , provocative images.

Really applaud his courage to be so open, esp when his family background is so prominent. I am curious how his father and uncle PM feel?

How his model catwalking  big aunty feel is not important.

 

More importantly his parents r supportive. I wonder anymore from his familee coming out soon.

Actually, a better message may be to photo average looking people who really look average. Most of the ones above, if not in a LGBTQ context, can still guess they are based on the vibe or how fashion forward they look. Why not capture the computer geek, the bespectacled boring plump accountant.....

Do you think there is a trend for more gays coming out in Singapore more recently?

Or is the situation still the same as , let's say  20 years ago?

 

 

The second question would be: Does it help the general gay community if stars n starlets come out?
