WAKE UP is a trans-temporal, queer-led event merging performance, fine art, film, music, and fashion into one immersive experience. We are committed to the queer community, to creativity, spirituality, openness, and inclusivity.

This Halloween edition is themed Skin of Time: a space where memory, decay, and intimacy are woven together. The exhibition begins with an opening performance night and Halloween party, followed by workshops on queer expression (e.g. drag makeup), feminism (e.g. Nü Shu writing), intimacy exploration (e.g. shibari), and more, before the closing ceremony with even more performances on 6th Nov.
