E:Den 依：窩 

8–16 January 2021 (Closed on Mon)
12pm–8pm 
The Substation Gallery

Eden is a name synonymous with paradise or a place of perfection. But what are the underlying realities beneath this facade of utopia? In these times of crisis, E:Den 依：窩 exposes the hidden ‘den’, where waste is discharged and disposed of. It invites participants to see beyond the repulsive and repugnant, and instead question how waste also acts as seeds for potentialities and possibilities.
