Eaton HK

This striking exhibition explores how significantly humans have impacted animals, and also touches on animals as an integral part of East Asian cultures and ideologies. Video works, installations, and performance pieces by local and international artists tell how animals can be mythical creatures, forms of capital, and objects of aesthetic interest. Can we ever exist in a world where humans become a collective with other species instead of exploiting and profiting from them? The exhibition attempts to answer this question, so go see for yourself.

As part of their Earth Day programme, Eaton HK will partner with National Geographic Explorers to present a series of interactive sessions and a photography exhibit that all delve into indigenous preservation and archipelago stories – these voices then feed into greater conversations on climate change. On the weekend of April 13, youth groups can participate in workshops ranging from art and tapestry making to photography and even a form of cartography that empowers marginalised groups called counter-mapping.  To complement these sessions, Eaton HK will also host a photography exhibition called Island Constellations, featuring images captured by frontline and indigenous youth who were given cameras to capture their respective regions. Join a screening of Bigger Than Us on April 21, a documentary produced by Flore Vasseur and actor Marion Cotillard, which follows an Indonesian girl who is an activist against plastic pollution in her country.  Attendees can register their interest here.
