HART HAUS is pleased to present Trichiasis, Hou Lam Tsui’s solo show curated by Kobe Ko.

Trichiasis sheds light on the beauty of failing that lies in a refusal to acquiesce to the dominant logics of power and discipline. The term refers to a medical condition where eyelashes grow inward, against their expected course. This “wrong way” growth is reimagined here as a radical force, one that challenges norms, orders, and systemic power from feminist and queer perspectives. In Glitch Feminism, Legacy Russell reclaims the “glitch” not as a malfunction, but as a subversive and powerful rupture. Similarly, as Jack Halberstam explores in The Queer Art of Failure, there is something profoundly queer about failure, “failing is what queer have always done exceptionally well”.

Opening reception: 14 March, 3-6pm 

Gallery address: G/F, 12P SmithfieldKennedy Town
