How to be Happy Together? is the catalogue of the eponymous exhibition at Para Site, curated by Zairong Xiang. Departing loosely from Wong Kar Wai’s Happy Together (1997), the exhibition enacts a critique of dualism and the questions raised by the dual and its split between intimate and antagonistic partners, between political entities, between ‘us’ and ‘them’, and even between ‘I’ and ‘me’, transcending the logic of ‘either/or’ central to racial capitalism and colonial modernity.

Participating Artists: Nadim Abbas, Luis Chan, Luke Ching, Chu Ming Silveira, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Mimian Hsu, Pauline Curnier Jardin & Feel Good Cooperative, Ocean Leung, Liao Jiaming, Pan Daijing, Beatrix Pang, Ren Hang, So Wing Po, Tang Kwong San & Yuen Nga Chi, Hong-Kai Wang, Xiyadie, Caio Yurgel, Zhou Xiaopeng & Tang Han, Bruno Zhu, and Payne Zhu
