Synopsis:

With an ambition to build a culture of inclusion for artists with disabilities, Dialogue is a curated art exhibition organised by Very Special Arts Singapore that aims to eliminate the misconception that artists with disabilities are unable to produce fine art. This exhibition gathers more than 20 pieces of artworks by Gregory Burns (Polio) and Chng Seok Tin (Visually Impairment) in the space of Visual Arts Centre to share their concerns about the society as well as their struggles of being a disabled artist in Singapore.

Since "dialogue" is an exchange of ideas or opinions on a particular issue, it allows the audience to have a silent conversation with the exhibited pieces to resolve an issue, which is the discrimination towards artists with disabilities.

As part of the Singapore Art Week, an artist's talk by Gregory Burns as well as an art workshop conducted by Chng Seok Tin will be integrated into the exhibition to continue the dialogue about the cause.
