hi, I am wenhui, aka niceaunties,
an artist based in Singapore building the auntieverse, where Asian aunties are no longer only an archetype, but each of them is the main character of their story.
preserving and reimagining
the ‘auntie’ archetype through AI, surrealism,
and social commentary
auntieverse is a world-building project that explores the cultural archetype of the auntie, a figure deeply embedded in everyday life yet often misunderstood or misrepresented. In many Asian societies, the term ‘auntie’ is both a familial title and a social label, carrying assumptions about age, personality, and societal roles.
niceaunties reclaims this term, transforming aunties into protagonists—figures of humour, resilience, and self-expression. It offers a space where aunties transcend societal judgment, moving through speculative cities, surreal economies, and imagined futures.
As AI continues to evolve, my auntieverse stands at the intersection of cultural preservation, speculative fiction, and technological innovation, challenging how we perceive both aunties and the future of digital art.
