SUMMARY:Water Refuge - Cold water exposure\, art & literature
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Denmark’s winter bathing traditions\, Wei Weng’s latest book\, Water Refuge (2023)\, explores how bodies of water transcend geography —becoming spaces of renewal\, resilience\, and connection. \nAs the winter solstice approaches this June\, join Wei Weng and renowned journalist Louisa Lim for a thought-provoking discussion on cold-water immersion\, cross-cultural dialogue\, and the role of literature as a bridge between cultures. \nThe artist will showcase a specially curated selection of Danish art and design books\, along with world literature that examines water as a symbol of sanctuary\, migration\, and belonging. \nCelebrate the Winter Solstice in true Scandinavian spirit—surrounded by books\, conversation\, and the warmth of hygge. Connect with fellow swimmers\, artists\, and literary enthusiasts for an afternoon of storytelling\, seasonal tastings of Nordic food\, and drinks are included in the ticket price. \nAbout speaker guests:\nWei Weng (b. 1981\, Nanning\, China) is a multidisciplinary artist exploring the intersections of photography\, lacquerware\, and speculative fiction. Shaped by a global upbringing across China\, Pakistan\, Malawi\, Switzerland\, and the USA\, her work bridges visual art\, craft\, and literature. Her recent art books\, Water Refuge (2023) and Eat A Chili(2021)\, have been shortlisted for major photography festivals and are available through Printed Matter (NYC)\, M+(Hong Kong) and Perimeter Books (Melbourne).
