This two-term exhibition showcases six groups of international and local creators who participated in TWS Residency Programs in recent years. What all six groups have in common in their works is the fact that they routinely use things that are closely linked to their everyday lives.

The exhibition [Part 2] features Midori Mitamura, Tetsuhiro + Kiyomi Uozumi, Luis Urculo who were reflecting on everyday life and the innate characteristics of their respective cities and their experience could perhaps lead them to discover new values so that they would share with audience the diverse values behind it when reconstructed through the lens of each creator's artistic originality. During the exhibition [Part 2], the creators will appear at the gallery talks, the workshops and the related event.
