Tang Contemporary Art is excited to announce a new female group exhibition at our Hong Kong gallery space, titled “A Room of One’s Own” and opening on June 22. The show will display more than twenty magnificent works by five young female artists, including Ding Hongdan, Li Muhua, Liu Youran, Wang Su, and Zhou Xinyu.

“A woman’s way to independence begins with a room of her own.”

– Adeline Virginia Woolf

As described by Hou Hanru in his publication Everyday Miracles, the modernization in China was rational, linear, rapid, vertical, progressive, efficient, and utopian – attributes which were once considered male-oriented because of the rigid, patriarchal hierarchies, subsequently coercing women into fixated gender stereotypes. Nevertheless, these characters mentioned by Hou are now demonstrated in women through the development of feminism, allowing them to rest and breathe amidst gender struggles, and to “reconstruct a room of one’s own”.
