Contemporary by Angela Li is proud to present "Soma", curated by Hong Kong curator, Shirky Chan, a group exhibition featuring Gordon Chi, Cynthia Kwok, Claire Lee, and Alyssa Tang.
In ancient Greek, soma simply meant "body." But in the traditions of somatic practice, from dance to phenomenology, and to Eastern ritual, soma refers to something more precise: the body as felt from within, not the body as seen from outside. It is the body that breathes, aches, remembers, and trembles. It is the body that is the mind, and the mind that inhabits the body.
This exhibition brings together four artists working at the intersection of mind, body, and time; not as separate categories, but as a single, indivisible soma.
Opening reception: Thursday, 7 May 2026, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Gallery address: G/F, 248 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan
