Alecia Neo (Singapore) is an artist and cultural worker. Her practice unfolds primarily through photography, video installations and participatory workshops that address modes of radical hospitality and care. Her recent projects include Performing Normal (2024 – 2025) at the Singapore Art Museum, Performing Care (2023) at Esplanade Tunnel, Scores for Caregiving (2023), a participatory installation commissioned by ArtScience Museum, a site-specific art installation Power to the People (2022) at the Karachi Biennial.

Care Index has been recently presented at MMCA Seoul, La Trobe Art Institute,

The Listening Biennial, Assembly for Permacircular Museums (ZKM, Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe), New Season of Care (Asia-Art-Activism) and Presence of Mind (Gallery Lane Cove, NSW, Australia).
