Knot I opens the inaugural cycle of Knotting Space with Soft Reality, Hard Dreams, presented with The Drawing Room and HUA International. Bringing together new and recent works, the exhibition moves between dream and reality, exploring how sensation and perception reshape temporal narratives. Here, the dream is not treated as fantasy or illusion, but as a dimension shaped by collective experience and personal imagination, and a framework for thinking through tension.

The Drawing Room showcases artists whose respective practices reflect the complex realities of the Philippines.

HUA International focuses on cross-disciplinary and performative practices, presenting across two locations in Berlin and Beijing.
