# Sha Najak

Sha Najak, 24, Singapore

Sha Najak is a multi-tasking artist who delves in poetry, photography and visual arts. She has exhibited her photographs and paintings in Minnesota USA, Malaysia and in Singapore. Sha is also an active member of the community, serving as Founding President of Migrant Voices, a local non-profit arts group that works with migrant workers and the arts. In Migrant Voices, Sha has successfully launched an album of songs performed by migrant workers and a string of events for 2006. Her community work began way back when she first started as a volunteer for local non-profit organizations that work with youths, animals and women.
Currently, Sha is working for a non-profit organization, TWC.

For this exhibition, Sha Najak will explore the visual realm of photography, capturing and amplifying the unheard voices of our society. This series will focus on migrant workers, who have played a crucial role in the development of Singapore.
