Ghosts are always with me
Group Exhibition - 12 March—11 April, 2026
featuring Samuel Chan, Badra Aji, Moira Mai (Jingru Mai), Meng-Yu Yan, Val Wens, and Bonnie Huang
catalogue essay by Daniel Press
Ghosts are always with me brings together six queer Asian-Australian artists exploring themes of haunting mediated through the perspective of their queerness. Artworks reflect on lingering memories and the way queerness is felt over time, shaped by the social and cultural realities of being Asian in Australia. Some of these experience being comforting, while others more scary. The materials are also supernatural, adopting treatments soft light, photographic sheen, or translucency; be it through glass, marble, graphite, or photography.
Val Wens is represented by Mais Wright Gallery
The exhibition is part of the Mardi Gras+ program
