Cheng-Lan's Foundation invites you to join us for a drink to celebrate the opening of Cheng-Lan's Corner. A street level project space centered on accessibility, openness and immediacy, Cheng-Lan's Corner opens with inaugural exhibition, Cian Dayrit: A Country, A Body, the Filipino artist’s first solo show in Hong Kong. One of the most incisive voices of his generation, Cian Dayrit takes the Philippines as a lens to examine the systematic control entrenched in our built environment. This presentation brings together a focused selection of recent works that fuses anthropology and speculative storytelling to examine the legacies of colonialism, land extraction and the transfer of power through textiles, paintings, drawings and sculpture. Drawing on archival research and collaborations with rural and Indigenous communities, his works incorporate historical maps, military iconography, botanical imagery and vernacular materials to explore histories of displacement, labour and resistance.“While Dayrit's research is deeply rooted in the lived experience of the Philippines, the questions posed, stories unearthed, and voices empowered open imaginative spaces to rethink our relationships to land and systems of power.” Tiffany Leung, Curator.Powered by Froala Editor
