Marla Bendini is a transgender, non-binary visual and performance artist, club personality, musician, pole and aerial artist based in Singapore. Her trans identity and practice are profoundly interrelated.

It was also to explore how the trans body allows one to occupy a new artistic space and challenge current understandings of identity.
