Being white

“Being White” is an attempt to reimagine white by dissociating its visuals from its memories. Instead of defining it as a colour or a non-colour, white has been reinterpreted as experiences translated into gestures, words, taste, sound and smell. The hope is that by acknowledging the existence of different kinds of white, we acknowledge the existence of different ways of perceiving it. The exhibit features five projects, each exploring a unique question or experience related to the concept of "being white." It is a multi-sensory collage of a food performance and four installations that challenges the traditional understanding of white.
