About this event

Private View Saturday 2 August - 2pm - 4pm

Slow Twitch explores the intricate connections between town development, memory, and resilience.

This Private View marks the unveiling of Weng-io Wong’s new installation, with visitors having the opportunity to meet the artist in person.

Through her work, she poses the question:

“What does it mean to remember in a place that’s constantly changing?”

About the Artist

Her practice explores changes in human behavior and emotions in the digital age, weaving fragmented memories, history, mythology, and architectural elements inspired by her hometown, Macao. Wong holds a Bachelor of Fine Art (First Class Honours) from RMIT, Australia (2015), and an MA in Sculpture from the RCA (2024), reflecting her deep engagement with cultural heritage and contemporary narratives.
