London, UK - The Ugly Duck, known for its Tanner Street location, is set to open its new spot in Courage Yard with exhibition Altar-native featuring work by nine East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) artists. From October 31st to November 5th, Altar-native will offer a captivating exploration of ancestral heritage and veneration, weaving together enigmatic histories and personal journeys through diverse artistic expression.Altar-native immerses visitors in the multiplicities within ESEA culture and diaspora. The artists come together to magnify and challenge ideas of death and mourning, confronting societal taboos. By expanding the notion of "ghosts", exploring ritual and altar practices, the exhibition serves as a conduit for the reexamination of ancestral, and therefore personal, identities. The exhibition also explores themes of loss and immortality, transcending human-spirit boundaries and conventional understandings of grief.Launching on Halloween, guests attending the opening night are encouraged to draw on ghosts and ancestral heritage as inspiration for their costumes/outfits.Curators:Dora LamDuong Thuy NguyenFeatured Artists:Alison LamBettina Fung | 馮允珊Dora LamDuong Thuy NguyenMegumi OhataKV DuongSammi MakYang-En HumeYu LengThe exhibition will be open daily from 11 am to 6 pm, running from the 1st to the 5th of November.
