Uncomfortable Encounters

Uncomfortable Encounters is an exhibition that seeks to explore how different environments make us behave, with a focus on the feeling of being outside of one’s comfort zone and how this is impacted upon by factors such as identity, slippages in time, orientation and memory. Engaging with themes of psycho-geography, storytelling and narrative-mapping, we have invited the following three artists, Hsiao-Hsuan Yang, Ellen Crofton and Chih-Kang Hsu, to respond to a moment of unease they have experienced when navigating the city of Glasgow. These works were showcased in the form of an installation and zine launch, in an effort to collage a reimagined Glasgow based on the artists’ experience of the city.
