Zarina: Directions to My House

Zarina: Directions to My House opens at Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI) as their Annual Special Exhibition on June 6, 2026.

This landmark solo exhibition, curated by New York-based Sarah Burney, an indepdent curator and former studio manager to Zarina, offers a deeply informed perspective on the artist’s life and work. This major exhibition brings together over 50 works from 12 lenders across multiple cities, presenting her practice at a scale not previously seen in Southeast Asia and reflecting her life that was profoundly shaped by numerous continents – having lived across Bangkok, New Delhi, Paris, Bonn, Tokyo, Santa Cruz, and finally New York. Exhibited alongside completed prints, rare insight into Zarina’s artistic development and early experimentation will also be revealed through the exhibition of printing plates, woodblocks, and tools, foregrounding the behind-the-scenes processes behind the artist’s intricate practice and emphasising the act of mark-making—cutting, engraving, incising—as central to her exploration of memory and inscription.
