WHAT
The exhibition circles around the core notion of ‘queer mythologies’ and delves into modern and contemporary mythologies along with practices of the body, by gathering a diverse range of artistic idioms related to LGBTQ+ perspectives from over 60 artists from Asia and its diasporas. Through 3 distinctive chapters spread out over 3 floors of JC Contemporary within the Tai Kwun complex, it encompasses newly produced artworks, historical works from the 1950s–1990s, as well as artworks on loan from the collection of the Sunpride Foundation.

WHY
Curated by Inti Guerrero and Chantal Wong, the exhibition includes over 100 artworks in all Tai Kwun Contemporary galleries, with one third of the works loaned from Sunpride’s collection. One of the first major institutional exhibitions on LGBTQ+ perspectives in Hong Kong, it expands on the ‘Spectrosynthesis’ series from Taipei, Bangkok, and now Hong Kong. The exhibition also includes a special publication collaboration with Queer Reads Library.
