The exhibition ”The Permeability of Certain Matters” features Christodoulous Panayiotou’s new photography works in concert with Philip Wiegard’s handmade wallpaper. During his 2-month residency at Spring, Panayiotou embarked on a project in China’s Guangdong province, researching what has become home to the world’s largest concentration of artificial flower factories. Accepting Panayiotou’s invitation to collaborate, Wiegard took up a residency at Spring, directing production of a handcrafted wallpaper titled “Festoons” inspired by a German design from the 1770s. The wallpaper was produced by 32 children recruited from across Hong Kong over the course of an eleven-day workshop. Topics such as production, representation, economy and the history of child labor are central to the exhibition. On Sunday, June 8, from 3 to 5pm, we will hold a children’s workshop led by Clara Cheung (please click here to register your child). EXHIBITION OPENING HOURS

Singing Resistance: a musical performance with Sumangala Damodaran Sumangala Damodaran, along with Pritam Ghosal, Mark Aranha, Neelambari Bhattacharya, and Simon Hui from the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, will perform a concert featuring songs from India’s anti-colonial and immediate post-colonial resistance movement. The songs, in six Indian languages, have been archived and interpreted by Damodaran, and belong to the tradition of the Indian People’s Theatre Association. The songs cover important historical events like the Second World War and the Bengal Famine and reflect impulses and influences from various Indian, world musical and poetry traditions. In addition, the programme will incorporate Hong Kong protest songs as we consider the universality of the song as an expression of resistance.
