As Jinjin XU leads us through her exhibition, "shelter" is a term that she frequently refers to. Indeed, the materials showcased in the exhibition, such as gauze curtains and draperies, evoke feelings of warmth, security, and enclosure. However, Jinjin emphasized that she did not want this space to be solely a shelter for women to escape from reality. Instead, her intention was to encourage women to reflect upon themselves and to enable the audience, as outsiders, to bear witness to the existence of these elements.

Liang Shuni, born in Guiyang, Guizhou in 1989, has a keen sensitivity towards both everyday life and people, and possesses a diverse perspective. Her creative expression is triggered by reality, but her wandering thoughts often lead her into a world between truth and illusion. Through her observation of subtle details, psychological analysis, and essential questioning, her paintings and sculpture installations sometimes give viewers a sense of surrealism, as if they are traveling back and forth in time and space.

Maggie Menghan Chen (b. 1998, Beijing) lives and works in London. Chen works across sculpture, installation and print-making in a quasi-archeological approach. Her work serves as evidence, leaving clues for a lost or speculative history, which hovers between facts, historical narratives and fantasy fictions. Chen extracts nature’s symbols and archetypes, digitally restores and transforms them to juxtapose with found objects. Through setting a tone in the past, her practice reflects upon the social construct of memory and its boundaries between reality and stimulation in the digital age.

It is a process that requires you to consume labour, energy and sprit to maintain the desire to continue to explore. Living for everyone is a long-lasting, turbulent movement. People always feel forceless when they dealing with it.

Chán started at Jiaying’s dinner table and developed through many conversations over food. The process of making this publication was filled with heartfelt moments - it started with a simple question of: tell me about your relationship with food - and the stories just came along. It was no surprise to us that everyone has their own stories relating to food, and their unique attachment to it. As with the diasporic bodies, food often carries memories of a distant place, familiar or strange - it is a language that drifting souls communicate with, and when we are lost, food will always lead us to the way home.
