The performance space becomes a heart.
You will move through four chambers and, as a participant, experience a complete cycle: listening → responding → writing → resonating.
It begins with a news event in the UK: the tragedy of an Asian female international student.
This news story becomes the trigger for the work, rather than something to be re-enacted. Through sound, moving image, objects, and audience participation, the project reconsiders how public narratives shape the meaning of the female body.
Five women who previously took part in the creative process in the UK left traces of their responses through drawing, objects, and bodily movement. The exhibition places their creative processes alongside the works they produced, accompanied by sound installation, multi-channel video, and an experimental short film. It guides audiences from listening to looking, and then into writing — inviting you to join an unfinished conversation in your own words.
Each passage through the space becomes a singular creative encounter: a sensory journey through bodily autonomy and responses to trauma.
This project is not psychotherapy, nor does it ask you to disclose personal experience. It is an artistic invitation: within a bounded time, to allow your emotions to be seen and held. Your experience will not be reduced or judged, but allowed to remain in fragments, gestures, and silences.

The Feels Lab
The Feels Lab is a collective formed by artists and curators. Its core members include artist Chen-Yen Hung, along with curators Poe Liu and Chris Yao from CirCurate.
As a cross-disciplinary collaboration that brings together performance art and curatorial narrative, The Feels Lab explores the entanglement among performance, exhibition, and audience participation. We seek to build a space of safety for audiences, where emotions can be approached, held, and shared; a scene in which feeling becomes something that can be witnessed, experienced, and observed.
❤️Artist Chen-Yen Hung❤️
A Taiwanese screenwriter, visual artist and film/television producer, as well as the co-founder of The Feels Lab and EYECTV. Her practice spans experimental documentary, photography, live performance and participatory art, focusing on women’s bodies, emotional politics, mechanisms of looking, and collective perception within social events. Her recent UK-based works include The Heart, Found Watching and Molly. Her documentary The Better Half was selected for the 27th Women Make Waves International Film Festival, and Blessing of Formosa: The Tenant of the Gods, which she co-produced, won Best Lifestyle Show at the 57th Golden Bell Awards.
