Whether ocean, strait or stream, water is not merely a connector of lands, but a living presence that moves with memory and labour, carrying traces of migrations, trade, rituals and kinship. Similarly, textile is not only a cultural artefact, but also a mobile, tactile archive threaded with the everyday, the sacred and the collective.

Tidal Weavers unfolds as a process and generative space of shared memory and interwoven knowledge. Central to it is an artist exchange between grassroots organisations across South China Sea to cultivate mutual learning and long-term collaboration. Artists, weavers, researchers and community members dwell and work together in immersive settings. Through conversations, shared meals, daily routines and collaborative making, friendships grow and shape the artworks as much as the materials themselves.

Venue address: The Mills, 45 Pak Tin Par Street, Tsuen Wan
