Soñ Gweha's solo exhibition A Quiet Storm Blowin' embodies a multi-sensual landscape that serves alternately as a stage, a resting zone, a place of action and encounter, and at times all of this at once: With its focus on enlivenment the show encompasses not only three of Soñ Gweha’s installational works, but also makes room for a DJ booth, a workshop area, and a book collection.

BLOWIN‘, the exhibition's live program curated by Soñ Gweha, offers itself as a portal to local as well as international, to long-time as well as new collaborators of the artist. Together, they have created an extensive program of performances, workshops and discussions.
