RNH Space is honoured to present exhibition 𝙇𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙙 𝙃𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨: 𝘽𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙊𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙃𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙆𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙁𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙑𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨, a research, curatorial, and design collaboration that explores the culture of Tanka people and their fluid state of living and building, presenting stories from a long overdue reading of the 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 Hong Kong.

The research focuses on three fishing villages, Tai O, Kat O and Po Toi O, and their sense of “liquid-ness” – physical yet elusive, subjected to constant changes. It denotes the condition of Hong Kong as an entity borne by water, as well as its people’s floating identity. However, the urge to conquer or devalue substances of “temporality”, a definition of flux and the lack of solidity, reflects the questionable need to dominate water whilst annihilating water, which resembles the power dynamics in any binary value systems.

*The project is supported by Design Trust.
