nProjekt's new Non-Local Non-Solo series brings together international and local artists and artist-run spaces for cultural exchange and visual dialogue on memory, identity and place.

Hong Kong, November 2024 - This November, nProjekt presents two exhibitions in its Non-Local Non-Solo series, bringing together international and local artists in an exploration of identity, memory and belonging. This cross-cultural exchange offers audiences two exhibitions - 'Wherever. In the Beginning It Was an Island' by Silvia Renda at Floating Projects and 'I Know It By Heart' by Sofia Ungar at Pointsman Art Space. Each exhibition weaves together different artistic voices, creating visual conversations across media, continents and themes.

At Floating Projects, from 17-28 November, 'Wherever. In the Beginning, It Was an Island', Barcelona-based artist Silvia Renda presents works that investigate the meaning of place - both real and imagined - through an exploration of islands as metaphors for isolation, connection and memory. Rooted in her Sicilian heritage, Renda's practice uses video, photography and sculpture to bring together personal narratives and collective experiences. Featuring local guest artists Florence Lee, Harry Tsang and Elaine Wong, this exhibition highlights the universal human desire to belong and expands on Renda's themes, creating an intercultural dialogue that transcends geographical boundaries.
