Kotodama: A Cross-Cultural Exhibit Celebrating the Magic of Words
Para Site , 677 King's Rd, Quarry Bay 
Why We Recommend it
Inspired by kotodama–the Japanese concept that words have power over the objects they represent–this exhibit brings together works meditating on the transformative power of language.
Description
Words have power. To some, that power is imbued magical properties. This is true across a multitude of languages and belief systems stretching back millennia. This exhibit at non-profit art organisation Para Site examines the magic of language across a range of cultures and nations.
The show brings together works from an extensive roster of artists from Hong Kong and beyond, including Tang Kwok Hin, Isaac Chong Wai, Kiri Dalena, Susan Hiller, and Nicole Wong. Audiences are invited to consider how languages preserve culture, memory, transmit wisdom and foster community and belonging.
