Constellation of Hope, Sharing Grounds

Constellationsof Hope, Sharing Grounds brings together four artist/activist collectives active between Asia and Europe. Through socially engaged and activist art, they address social justice, particularly those concerning migrants, diasporic populations and sexual minorities, while cultivating solidarity, autonomy, and care. Rather than focusing on individual works, the exhibition foregrounds collectivity itself as an artistic infrastructure, supporting activist practices, fostering transnational connections, and inspiring imaginative futures. It is a gathering across distance: a journey beyond borders, an encounter across continents, and a weaving of connection and friendship.

This exhibition is the final outcome of Li Jia's residency in Basel.
