The word “anti” challenges the norms or conventions of spaces designated for creating joy, questioning presumed boundaries of reality and artificiality.

Highlight performances include lecture performance on philosophy presented by Chun-Yin Yeung, Uncle Salt (鹽叔) from Corrupt the Youth (好⻘年荼毒室), performances from Cong Quartet and more.
