The “South” is more than a geographic marker; it is a way of seeing and an open-ended promise. For our fifth anniversary, HEM presents the exhibition The Roots Know More, featuring more than one hundred artworks from around the world to braids the past and present into a living circuit of sensation.
The exhibition spreads through four units—Echoes, Evergrowing, Song of All Things, and the special unit To the Land: A Case Study of Tong Wenmin. Layered narratives and sensory paths opens a landscape of cognition within HEM’s architecture. All the artists based around the globe yet connected to the South, define their identities and move beyond established frameworks, using diverse media and materials to explore cognition, land, and self-definition.
