ON HEALING: London Chapter
With the notion and process of healing at the heart of our programme — first articulated through ‘Inner Alchemy’ in 2024 and continued in ‘To Sleep and Wake Unafraid’ and ‘Crossbreeds, Cracks, Current’ in 2025 — PF25 launches in 2026 a series titled ‘On Healing’, unfolding through performance, moving image and visual arts. The series traces how creative practices respond to trauma, memory and recovery amid the challenging conditions of our contemporary world, creating a space where artistic practice, lived experiences, workshops and attentive exchange converge, bringing together artists, scholars, students, cultural workers and diverse publics across multiple cities.
In partnership with the Department of Film Studies, King’s College London (KCL), and Prof. Victor Fan, the inaugural chapter of ‘On Healing’ takes place on 2 May as a one-day programme across KCL’s Anatomy Museum, the College Chapel, and the Somerset Room. Conceived as an immersive experience, the programme brings together conversations, an Ikebana performance, and a singing bowl sound bath and meditation, shaped through the practices of Hong Kong artists in diaspora — Oscar Chan Yik Long, Hedy Leung, and Kit Hung.
Prof. Victor Fan, Dr. Wing-Fai Leung and Angelika Li join the artists in conversation across the programme. Together, these moments engage healing as both a personal and collective process — an articulation of reflection, resonance, and sociocultural connection and renewal.
The programme is organised by PF25 cultural projects in collaboration with the Department of Film Studies, King’s College London (KCL), and curated by Angelika Li as part of the 2026 milestone of the ongoing curatorial platform ‘Homeland in Transit’, initiated in 2019. Further site-specific projects are planned in Dornach, Basel, and Helsinki.
