The body has never been singular. It is divided by memory, shaped by technology, marked by labour, gendered by language, racialised by history, politicised by borders, and dispersed across digital and physical realities. It is whole and broken at once.
The Fragmented Body exhibition seeks works that examine:
The body as archive — scars, memories, inherited histories
Dislocation, exile, and displacement
Medical, mechanical, or digital intervention
Prosthetics, avatars, extensions, and simulations
Surveillance and the commodified body
Psychological fragmentation and multiplicity
The body in pieces: symbolic, literal, metaphorical
We were delighted with the response and the inventive twists on the theme.

Description: "Internal Censor" is a series of monoprints created in 2023 by Hanzhi Zhong, reflecting her inner journey filled with complex emotions, portraying a chaotic state within. This collection emerges from a life-changing period that intimately acquainted Zhong with various feelings, including anxiety disorders. The images delve into the visceral experience of anxiety, drawing inspiration from somatisation, where emotional turmoil manifests physically.

Old Man on the Tube Reading Solzhenitsyn (2026)
Description: From a photo taken on the tube, as per the title. The man himself seemed intact enough, but the author of the book he was reading wasn't always so much.
