About
Regina De Rozario is a Singapore-based artist, writer, researcher and educator. Her work draws on psychogeography, assemblage thinking, public pedagogies and queer feminist practices to investigate multisensory and participatory encounters in public space. In particular, her practice considers how such encounters can create conditions for reflection, dialogue, shared understanding, collective action and well-being.
De Rozario works independently and as one half of Perception3, an interdisciplinary practice she co-founded with design practitioner Seah Sze Yunn in 2007. Perception3’s site-specific works bring together text, photography, digital video and installation to explore loss, memory and changing urban environments. Their projects include public artworks for Urban Screens (2026), Rebirth: Singapore Night Festival (2022), Public Art Trust (2021), i Light Singapore: Bicentennial Edition (2019) and An Atlas of Mirrors: Singapore Biennale (2016). As a solo practitioner, her modalities include walking, mapping, poetic writing, field recordings, and sound assemblages.
De Rozario received the National Arts Council Postgraduate Scholarship in 2018 to undertake doctoral research on art and public space at Nanyang Technological University’s School of Art, Design and Media and National Institute of Education. Her research examined critical and inclusive approaches to public art, with continuing interests in participatory practice, queer and minoritised narratives, and public-space encounters. she also holds a Master of Arts in Contemporary Practice, and a Bachelor of Arts with first class honours in Fine Art and Contemporary Writing from the University of Huddersfield.
As an educator, De Rozario teaches and supervises contemporary art studio practice, research methods and dissertation writing across the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes within the University of the Arts Singapore. She supports students to develop critically grounded, self-directed research practices attentive to the ethical, social and material conditions in which art is produced and encountered.
She also works as an independent curriculum consultant, facilitator and assessor with ArtsWok Collaborative. Here, her work involves designing and delivering competency-based programmes for practitioners working across the arts, community and related sectors; supporting reflective, ethical, culturally responsive and person-centred approaches to arts-based community facilitation and engagement.
