Ghosts of Empires at Ben Brown Fine Arts
A specter is haunting the world—the specter of Colonialism. (See: I have plenty of sudden quotes for you). A lot of issues, problems and traumas can be traced back to the stories of war, forced misplacement, and slavery. Nevertheless a lot of families started new chapters in new places, creating new narratives in their new homes. The experience of growing up in these mostly African and Asian diasporas differs but there’s an overlapping opportunity and desire to find more about your ancestors land, and not necessarily to return there but to place it in your complex identity.
It’s a big exhibition with a lot of participated artists so I do recommend you to ask for a thorough tour.
Exhibition period: 18 March—14 May
Gallery address: 201, The Factory, Wong Chuk Hang
