 Join us for the opening event of our new exhibition, Hyphenated.

The hyphen, being a function of language, alludes to the difficulties hyphenated communities experience (both in spoken languages and in the cultural languages of signs and symbolism). First generation migrants often struggle to learn and speak new languages while subsequent generations struggle to keep speaking their ancestral tongue and lose touch with the cultural traditions from which they came.

Hyphenated thoroughly interrogates the hybrid qualities of hyphenated identities from multiple perspectives – focusing particularly on artists who incorporate text and language into their work.

The participating artists are:

  • Deanna Hitti
  • Emma Rani Hodges
  • Kirtika Kain
  • Pamela Leung
  • Jason Phu
  • Ben Soedradjit
  • Samuel Tupou
  • Jason Wing
  • William Yang
