To the Nameless is a contemporary art exhibition honouring those left out of history—the anonymous, the silenced, the invisible. In a world shaped by dominant narratives, it brings the overlooked into focus.

Who has never been written into history? Who continues to be erased? To the Nameless addresses the condition of invisibility: those erased from collective narratives, whose names and presences dissolve into silence. Rather than repairing absence with a single story, the exhibition holds space for dissonant voices to coexist. It turns on three axes: erasure, where absence is actively made; margins, where vulnerability is rendered unseen; and resilience, where silence conceals gestures of survival. Through spatial and sensory encounters, the exhibition invites audiences to reflect not on completion, but on the unresolved questions of who appears, who is remembered, and who remains beyond the frame. Through diverse works, the exhibition explores themes of erasure, marginality, and resilience. It invites us to rethink what it means to be seen, remembered, and named. This is not just an exhibition. It is a call. A gesture of care. A reminder that even what seems invisible leaves a trace. Curated by Yiru Wang and Jiabinxu, in collaboration with Xueshijia Wang and Studio SaturnVII, the exhibition offers a space to reflect, listen, and witness the stories that history has yet to fully tell.

Made with breathable Guangdong gauze, it offers comfort and protection during rest. Created through an experimental ceramic–fabric printing process using mud from Jingdezhen, it embodies warmth, resilience, and love I rarely voice aloud. Xiaoping Yu Floral Nervescape transforms the canvas into a breathing terrain. Through layered materials and saturated colors, it evokes neural pathways, fragile blooms, and tidal rhythms—honoring unseen life and resilience while inviting viewers to slow down, attune their senses, and linger in a quiet, contemplative encounter. Junying Jiang Once Upon A Time" is an animated exploration of self-identity during childhood to adulthood, blending personal memories with mythic symbols. Using metaphors like fairy tale motifs, it reflects on how stories shape us, revealing inner conflict, growth, and the ongoing journey of self-discovery.
