Weave and Shout! at CHAT (Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile)


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Curated by Takahashi Mizuki, Executive Director and Chief Curator of CHAT—who recently co-curated the Japan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale—this exhibition playfully explores the sources of everyday stress and invite visitors to release negativity through touch, weaving, role-play and laughter.

 Featuring international and local artists, the exhibition includes environmentally conscious interactive structures by Australia’s Slow Art Collective, led by Chaco Kato and Dylan Martorell; a whimsical installation inspired by schoolyard memories by Hong Kong artist Chan Wai Lap; and lively storytelling performances by Indonesian artist Agus Nur Amal PM Toh. Visitors are encouraged to touch, interact, weave, and shout—experiencing the wonder of textile art through creativity and play.

From 18 July to 9 August, a special presentation titled Sensation Release built by Agus will be held at The Hall on the G/F of The Mills. Using household objects and second-hand textiles, Agus has invited various communities in Hong Kong to co-create this interactive space. Visitors of all ages are invited to rescue toy dogs with a pump, take amusing pictures of their animal companions, relive childhood memories by shouting into electric fans, and become imaginary news presenters.
