About CHAT
CHAT (Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile) is a part of the heritage conservation project of The Mills, the former cotton-spinning mills of Nan Fung Textiles in Tsuen Wan. Through its multifaceted curated programmes, which include exhibitions and co-learning programmes, CHAT aims to be an art centre that weaves creative experiences for all.
Seed to Textile 2026: Costumes of Vivid Currents
CHAT’s flagship community project Seed to Textile began with a special gift from India: indigo seeds. Since 2019, we have been connecting nature, textiles and art through participatory experiences such as farming, crafting and gallery practice.
Oh Haji: Becoming Flowers
Becoming Flowers marks the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong by Oh Haji, recipient of the Audience Prize at the ANTEPRIMA x CHAT Contemporary Textile Art Prize 2024. It traces her use of textile materials and techniques to express diasporic memory, female resilience, communal healing and celebration.
Threading Inwards
In the exhibition, we explore textiles as living pathways that intertwine into spiritual maps. They weave threads between people and place, ancestors and ecologies, the visible and the unseen, softness and strength, while opening up futures and possibilities of living, relating, and caring for the world.
