Cici Wu is participating in the 36th Bienal de São Paulo with her 2023 film Belonging and Difference. The exhibition will take place from September 6, 2025 to January 11, 2026 at the Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion in São Paulo, with free admission. This year’s theme, Not All Travellers Walk Roads – Of Humanity as Practice is inspired by the Afro-Brazilian poet Conceição Evaristo, and this year’s edition includes 125 artists and collectives.
There Is a Crack in Everything, on view from September 5 – December 14, 2025, brings together more than twenty-five international artists whose practices intertwine emotion and form with questions of belonging, identity, and memory. From visible violence to imposed silences, from damages to life to the vulnerability of surrounding environments, these artists explore the human condition in its tensions as well as its possibilities, transforming these realities into imaginings of resistance, displacement, and reinvention. This exhibition is a project of the Jewish Museum In/Out, led by its director Barbara Cuglietta, in collaboration with guest curator Martin Germann.
Raha Raissnia will be participating with her film installation Solaria 2022, as well as new paintings.
Generations of Hong Kong filmmakers have worked to find a cinematic language that could capture an environment so marked by contingency and ephemerality. In recent years, one particularly original and sustained such effort has come from Chan Hau Chun, who has made several works blurring the boundaries between documentary and video art, and whose newest film debuted at Hong Kong’s Empty Gallery this summer. An epistolary reflection on the city, partly addressed to a then-imprisoned friend, Map of Traces (2025) unearths fragments of Hong Kong’s collective history and forms them into an image of its present. “Memory,” she writes in one letter displayed over a black background, “is like a hidden shape, waiting for the right moment to resurface.”
Cici Wu’s current exhibition at Rockbund Art Museum, running through September 28, has been covered recently:
Artists: Ryoko Aoki, Robert Beck / Buck, Anne Eastman. Zon Ito, Yoshiro Furuhashi, Takeshi Miyakawa. Monique Mouton, Tam Ochiai, Hiroyuki Oki, Ayano Shibata, Stephen Sprott, Chinatsu Yasuhara, Cici Wu Dates: August 2 (Sat) – August 31 (Sun), 2025
Troedsson Villa is pleased to announce a group exhibition at The Pawnbroker’s Museum in Nikko, Japan. Organized by Anne Eastman and Tam Ochiai, the exhibition is titled Zureta, a word that refers to something being slightly off, displaced, out of sync, or shifted just enough to catch our attention. Whether by design or accident, when an idea, person, place, moment, or material is dislocated, the resulting imperfection opens up countless possibilities. The artists in this exhibition respond to these shifting realities. Each work points toward a fugitive memory of a place or a sense of self dislodged from its point of origin.
“Located far from the city center, on the south side of Hong Kong Island, Empty Gallery is tucked into the upper floors of a commercial skyscraper. The black-and-white projection of Chan Hau Chun’s Map of Traces (2025), the sole work and namesake of the artist’s first solo exhibition with Empty, provides the only illumination in an otherwise dark, echoey space. The film’s cloistered presentation, with the feeling of a sparsely attended microcinema screening, heightens the intimate, hushed, and quietly demanding quality of its content.”
Cici Wu is participating in 47 Canal’s Summer Screening Program, which opens July 9 and runs through August 15, 2025. Other participating artists include: Martin Beck, Danielle Dean, Andrew Hawkes, Elle Pérez, Sung Tieu and Zheng Yuan.

madame leniou returns—briefly—to Athens, to a domestic space: a 1936 apartment designed by Dimitris Pikionis, everything you ever wanted. Convince yourself that’s what you want. After a brief winter and unnaturally sunny but cruel spring she comes back to a life she used to have. The lifestyle spoiled. The spoils of lifestyle. […]

opening in Athens: Saturday 07 June, 2025, 3–7pm. Open through June, by appointment.
Galerie Khoshbakht is thrilled to announce the opening of the exhibition Portrait II – presenting works by Beth Collar, Behrang Karimi, Mitchell Kehe, René Kemp, Yoora Park and Raha Raissnia.
“With this exhibition we are presenting our programme to New York City. Bringing together a group of artists undoubtably will put things into perspective. Lively conjugations, visual languages, memories, material histories; they fold into each other, dragging one another by the hand. The system will be put in place. However, living these ways of instituting, putting the distant thinking on the side and allowing our own lived experience to take centre, we slowly come to the realization that institutions and programs, no matter how they express themselves, are a beautiful thing; not because we must be critical of them but because we live in them.”
Opening: Friday, May 23, 6–8 pm May 24 – June 28, 2025
