WHAT
Curated by Celia Ho, this is the first major institutional solo exhibition of the artist duo in Asia. The exhibition features all-new commissions including an hour-long experimental documentary film, large-scale drawings on handmade paper, a site-specific installation, and a 16mm stop motion animated film. The exhibition is accompanied by public programmes including lectures, discussion sessions, and paper-making workshops, which explores connections between the Philippines, Hong Kong, and beyond.

The premiere presentation at Para Site emerges from a cross-institutional collaboration with CCA Berlin – Center for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow International, and MoMA PS1.

WHY
The documentary film is the result of extensive primary research conducted by the artists on the issues of food sovereignty and land justice in Negros Island, Philippines (historically dominated by the sugar industry). The artists researched the Escalante Massacre of 1985, emblematic of the injustices that marginalised groups have faced since colonial times.
