In Moments of Encounter, artist and therapist Monique Yim hosts intimate exchanges with individuals and small groups, as part of the exhibition ‘The Embrace and the Passage’. Participants are encouraged to express emotions or personal experiences—such as those of change or separation—they are going through in the moment. Yim responds by selecting and preparing original ingredients of different flavours with them, crafting a personalised herbal tea blend that reflects their state of being. Through sharing, conversations and the engagement of senses, the sessions create space for reflection, release, and support.
The sessions at Para Site will be in Cantonese. Each session takes place in the exhibition venue and lasts approximately 50 minutes. Some are reserved for a single participant, while others can accommodate up to 3 individuals who register together as a group. The exhibition remains open to the public from 12–7pm on these days. A fully refundable deposit of HK$100 is required for each slot. Please register through this link and email proof of transfer as instructed within 24 hours of registration. Otherwise, your reservation won’t be confirmed.
The final sessions will shift from the contemplative space of Para Site to Terrible Baby, Eaton HK. In this communal setting where people and things are constantly on the move, these sessions for individuals or small groups offer a moment to pause and exchange, centred around tastes chosen to represent their state of being, before continuing to their next destination. These sessions will be conducted in Cantonese, Mandarin or English. Each session lasts approximately 50 minutes and accommodates up to three individuals registering as a group. Registration required here.
