In turbulent times, we borrow Donna Haraway's concept of ODDKIN to ask: In the face of global ecological and social crises, how might we learn to form alliances? How can we explore the possibility of "odd kinship" in conditions that demand co-existence and co-survival? Such kinship is not grounded in bloodlines but in connections with the eerie - those unfamiliar, unruly forms of life. We take a practice of confrontation as our method, allowing differences to rub against one another, convening a temporary yet necessary creative coalition.

The exhibition is initiated by YIM Sui Fong, with participating artists CHAN Hau Chun, CHUI Chi Yin, and LAM Wing Sze. Working primarily with moving image, the four artists begin with observations of urban everyday life, transforming reading, discussion, and field encounters into sound and video installations. The process of this exhibition grew out of a series of reading groups: from Haraway's Staying with the Trouble to Zanette & Clinchy's Ecology of Fear, further extending to Fisher's The Weird and the Eerie and Waite's On the Politics of Boredom. The sites of these gatherings were deliberately varied - rooftops, Lion Rock, canteens, airports - each becoming a scene where theory, body, and site intertwined, and where practices of mutual reflection and critique could unfold.

Exhibition opens on 17.10.2025 (Fri) at 6:30 PM in the presence of all participating artists.
