Hằng Hằng
Residency Period｜2026.7/16-10/8
Born in 1995, working between Paris and Hanoi. Her works explore sensible and immemorial memories through ordinary narratives and archival fragments.
In Fukuoka, her research stretches from theaters, excavation sites, and shrines to everyday spaces. Through these encounters, she questions the possibility of “the personal sacred”. Her new work unfolds across an ice room and a soil room. Taking ice as a spatio-temporal environment and soil gathered from excavations in Fukuoka as a material for cross-sensory experience, she invites us to encounter matter and reconsider our perception.

Amshad Sunuwar
Residency Period｜2026.7/15-10/8
Born in 1993, based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Stemming from his distanced upbringing from his Sunuwar-Koyu Rai heritage, his work interrogates cultural erosion and identity. In Fukuoka, Amshad delves into the relationships between individuals and the community and how such invisible memories or experiences are carried through time. He runs a collaborative project in which he collects textures (graphite rubbings on paper) of objects/places of memory from many people and plans to transform them into a landscape.

Ian Tee
Residency Period｜2026.7/15-10/8
Born in 1994, based in Singapore. His projects often begin with an obsession about a painting genre or a piece of visual culture, and how its meanings can be recontextualised through stylistic or material shifts. Ian develops his work through research into wartime history and its remnants in Fukuoka, as well as on Nakamura Kenichi, a Fukuoka-born painter who visited Singapore during World War II. Intersecting with his experience of military conscription, his work addresses historical connections between Singapore and Japan and how conflict is remembered.
