Asia Art Archive closes 25th anniversary with 'At 25: Artists' Early Worlds, Part II'
The concluding chapter of Asia Art Archive's 25th anniversary, on view at its Sheung Wan space until 31 October 2026, features Salima Hashmi, Holly Lee, Bahc Yiso and Raqs Media Collective through rare archival materials and early works.
Built around the question 'What were you doing at 25?', the exhibition traces the artists' early life trajectories and practices through archives gathered from the artists, their families and institutions. The featured practitioners span Pakistani educator-artist Salima Hashmi, Hong Kong photographer Holly Lee (1953–2024), Korean conceptualist Bahc Yiso (1957–2004) and Delhi-based Raqs Media Collective, alongside two new commissions including the collective's 'Black Waters: An Event Shaped Hole'. Curator-led tours in Cantonese and English ran on 23 September, with further tours scheduled on 21 October 2026.
