Jereh Leung seeks to reevaluate patriarchal identities in his performance work. He creates landscapes of viscerality by merging different mediums such as body, sculpture and sound. He studied dance in SEAD (Salzburg) and NAFA (Singapore).
Nirmala Seshadri is a dance artist and researcher whose work critically engages with Bharatanatyam, a classical dance form. She uses the body and performance space to interrogate existing inequalities, problematising boundaries of time, place, gender, and caste, among other social constructs.
Hemalatha Ramani is a writer, essayist, and author who focuses on travel, culture, art, and leisure. She is also a regular contributor to newspapers and magazines. Her essays, profiles, and poems draw on her passion for the untold stories in places, cultures, and traditions, as well as the links between artand its spiritual moorings.
Awarded the National Arts Council Scholarship, Jing Ng graduated with first class honours from Rose Bruford College (U.K.) specialising in Performance Sound. Having designed for various companies and productions over 10 years of practice, he aspires to provide a wholesome sonic experience for the audience - what, why, and how you listen through a live performance.

About Ghosts of Remembrance
Ghosts of Remembrance is an interdisciplinary collaboration between four artists, shaped by their personal experiences of loss, separation and grief.
Prompted by the loss of close family and the passing of mentor Aaron Khek, artists Jereh, Nirmala, Hemalatha and Jing come together to explore the many dimensions of loss—personal, collective, and cultural. Drawing from traditional Indian dance, feminist critique and interrogations of gender and identity, the work evokes memory, transformation, and ritual.
