Wan Chai Grammatica: Past, Present, Future Tense

Description

Wan Chai Grammatica: Past, Present, Future is an exhibition that revolves on the idea of topophilia, a term used to describe the affective bonds between people and places. The show, which includes the work of 18 artists across generations and Hong Kong’s cultural spectrum, explores how one of the oldest districts in Hong Kong has inspired and nurtured our creative community.

The aim of the exhibition is to open doors to a new, more layered understanding of Wan Chai as a historical space, a cultural hub and a centre for community engagement through a dialogue generated between the works. “The show is about how the voices of different artists each form a narrative. Individually they have their own styles, but there is enough coherences so that when you bring them together, it becomes a new thing, a grammar of Wanchai if you will”, says Valerie C. Doran, the exhibition’s guest curator.
