The Hari Hong Kong has partnered with White Cube Hong Kong to present ‘Thresholds,’ a remarkable group exhibition showcasing contemporary artists whose creative practices are rooted in or connected to Indonesia.

Exploring the cycles of life, death, and transformation, the exhibition delves into themes of ritual, spirituality, and reincarnation through a captivating mix of mediums, including painting, sculpture, textile, drawing, and silverware. The collection will be on display at The Hari Hong Kong until 31 March 2026, offering art lovers a glimpse into Indonesia’s rich cultural and spiritual landscape.

Curated by Galuh Sukardi, an independent curator from Indonesia, ‘Thresholds’ features works by artists Galuh Anindita, Arahmaiani, Christine Ay Tjoe, Nadiah Bamadhaj, Kei Imazu, Ines Katamso, I Gusti Ayu Kadek Murniasih (Murni), Citra Sasmita, and Jennifer Tee. Each artist expresses a unique journey of transformation, spiritual, political, physical, or mythological, highlighting the coexistence of light and dark as balanced forces rather than opposing ones.

Rooted in Indonesian tradition, the exhibition draws inspiration from the Balinese poleng cloth, known for its black-and-white checks symbolising harmony of opposites. This symbolic pattern becomes a visual metaphor for balance amid contemporary ecological, social, and spiritual challenges.

To celebrate the exhibition, The Hari Hong Kong has introduced special menu offerings inspired by Indonesian cuisine. Guests can savour dishes like chicken karaage wrapped in pandan leaf and pandan coconut panna cotta, paired with the Threshold Special, a pandan-flavoured cocktail or mocktail. The pandan leaf, a staple in Indonesian cooking and a symbol of purity, beautifully connects the culinary and cultural narratives of the festival.

The collaboration also builds on the ongoing relationship between The Hari and White Cube, following their annual Hari Art Prize, which began in London. Wendy Xu, Managing Director, Asia at White Cube, is part of the judging panel for The Hari Art Prize 2026 in Hong Kong, continuing the celebration of emerging artistic talent.

‘Thresholds,’ curated by Galuh Sukardi, is on view at White Cube Hong Kong until 10 January 2026, and concurrently at The Hari Hong Kong until 31 March 2026.
