An Artist-Led Brown Bag Lunch & Studio Visit
The first Flow Field brought artists, curators, cultural practitioners, and business thinkers together for an informal lunch conversation followed by a studio visit.

An Artist-Led Cyanotype Experience
Han Qin Studio × CAPL
Led by artist Han Qin at MEMOR Museum, Tracing Experience invited participants to bring an object carrying a personal memory and transform it into an image on paper through cyanotype. Through arrangement, exposure, washing, and viewing, the experience opened a space to revisit memory through material, light, and time.

A Cyanotype Emotion Scroll
River of Life explores migration through shared and individual experiences. One scroll traces participants’ emotional journeys of relocation through cut-out shapes and words; the other carries a life-size cyanotype impression of Han Qin’s body. Together, they reflect on belonging, identity, and the connections between personal stories and collective experience.
