CHAT

Presented in partnership with ANTEPRIMA, this exhibition showcases the works of the finalists and celebrates the expressive power and intrinsic significance of textiles. We hope the one-of-a-kind prize will stimulate artistic talents and create future possibilities of textiles. 

Through clothes, objects and archival materials, this special display presents 5 case studies of historically overlooked forms of tailoring in Hong Kong from the 1950s to the 2000s.

In spring 2024, CHAT celebrates its 5th anniversary with the group exhibition Factory of Tomorrow. Featuring CHAT’s own contemporary art collection and newly commissioned works, it endeavours to critically examine the past and evoke imagination for what is to come.

CHAT Winter Programme 2023 includes exhibitions titled Jakkai Siributr: Everybody Wanna Be Happy and Seed to Textile. Jakkai Siributr: Everybody Wanna Be Happy is the first retrospective of Thai artist Jakkai Siributr’s artistic practice to take place outside of Thailand, spanning two decades of work with wall-hanging textiles and sculptural pieces, as well as a presentation of community initiatives conducted in Thailand and abroad.
