The AUUUUDITORIUM ia a groundbreaking, continuously evolving project where the exhibition is staged as series of events that challenge traditional methods of knowledge production. AUUUUDITORIUM redefines 'study' as a collective, diverse pursuit that encompasses dialogue, movement, and shared experiences, all under the umbrella of 'speculative practice.' At the core of AUUUUDITORIUM is a dynamic approach to the act of study, prioritizing motion, circulation, and redistribution over static learning.

The project is housed on the second floor of the museum, a space that was once the Wu Lien-teh Auditorium inaugurated in 1933 and served as a central hub for Royal Asiatic Society members to share their colonial discoveries. Today, AUUUUDITORIUM hosts Scenography for a Shanghai Science Fiction Opera (2024), a newly commissioned installation by Ming Wong. Renowned for his works that delve deeply into the structure and social context of cinema and traditional forms of performing arts, Wong's work creates a portal through which we can collectively envision a future deeply rooted in a specific local past.

With a monthly-changing scenography, the year-long program of AUUUUDITORIUM commissioned artists, scholars, musicians and performers, weaving together artistic speculations, collective memories, marginalized knowledge, and vernacular fiction. I was the curator of Ming Wong's Scenography for a Shanghai Science Fiction Opera (2024) and The Turning Point of the World : Tide Watch (2025), alongside Ho Rui An's research project Spinning Time (2024), Payne Zhu's performance Rendering Zhengze (2024).
