Gardening to the Dark

  • Free
  • Art

In Gardening to the Dark, Jing Liang, Minh-An Pham and Adrian Jing Song reframe familial silences as potentially generative encounters. Drawing on personal narratives and South-East Asian mythology, this collaborative installation invites viewers to reflect on the subtle tensions and dynamics that exist within these unspoken histories.

Come along to the exhibition opening on Thursday 31 July, 6–8pm.
