Spinning East Asia Series II: A Net (Dis)entangled at CHAT/The Mills

Strongly recommend joining a tour for this exhibition—it’s a big and rather complex show, so having someone guiding you through is very helpful. The East Asia history of relationships is intertwined and interwoven like a complex tapestry so there’s no possibility of telling a short and simple story. Lines and stories doubled, multiplied, rhymed, and echoed in a long history, making narratives entangle and disentangle right before your eyes. Personal and regional stories, stories of objects and cities, stories of trade and migration, love and death and everything after. It’s a textile exhibition in the broadest meaning of textile, where the narrative threads of identities and unique stories all continuously come together to create fabric of history, all past parts of which influence the present and hopefully the future, because history is constantly being woven.

Exhibition period: 22 April—7 August
Gallery address: 45 Pak Tin Par Street, Tsuen Wan
