Dance With Me is a new immersive exhibition by British Chinese artist Donald Shek, exploring how dance connects generations, cultures and memories.
Moving between the dance halls of first-generation migrants and the underground club culture experienced by subsequent generations, the exhibition explores dance as a shared language — a way of finding connection, belonging and emotional release.
Weaving moving images into a dreamlike digital tapestry alongside sound and sculpture, Dance With Me brings memory, nostalgia and the present together, inviting audiences to reflect on how we remember, connect and find belonging through movement.
