Chitra Ganesh | Myth Makers - Spectrosynthesis III | Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and Arts

Hales is excited to announce that Chitra Ganesh is included in Myth Makers - Spectrosynthesis III at the Tai Kwun Centre for Heritage and Arts, Hong Kong, through 10 April 2023.

 

Myth Makers - Spectrosynthesis III circles around the core notion of "queer mythologies" and delves into modern and contemporary mythologies along with practices of the body, by gathering a diverse range of artistic idioms related to LGBTQ+ perspectives from over 60 artists from Asia and its diasporas.

 

The exhibition draws inspiration from artists addressing "queer mythologies", who highlight either same-sex love and desire or gender fluidity as found in ancient belief systems and traditions in Asia. At the same time, the exhibition also highlights the "new traditions" of our times, of spectacle and celebrity, playful and/or transgressive, along with non-normative bodily practices and histories in artworks by contemporary artists.
