Art After Hours: The Unsettled Tai Kwun
HKD 270 ( 1 screening and music performance, Kombucha Workshop, and the activities at the JC Contemporary )
Join us for an evening at Art After Hours: The Unsettled, where the heritage and art spaces of Tai Kwun are transformed into an innovative cultural experience after dark. This event offers a special blend of contemporary artistic practices, live performances, and participatory engagements centred on the theme of aftermath.
Highlights include a post-rock performance by mouse on the keys and sonic experimentation by local collective Life Was All Silence. Participants also experience a live performance by Marah Arcilla and Sylvie Cox, a video screening by Jess Lau Ching Wa, an artist’s book display with album by Shane Aspegren, and workshops conducted by Taboocha—all designed to invite reflection on the transient and fragile nature of existence.
Drawing inspiration from On Kawara’s contemplative approach to time and memory, this evening encourages communal reflection on our interconnectedness within the flow of life. The exhibition, on view at Tai Kwun Contemporary, remains open until late, offering further opportunities to engage in a dialogue on aftermath and transformation. Throughout the night, free drink tasting is also offered.
