Steamy Intimacies: A Shu Lea Cheang Special

Steamy Intimacies is back! For our third edition, we present a selection of Taiwanese video maverick Shu Lea Cheang’s early films from the 90s and 00s — desirous & slippery, playful and unrestrained. Splash with us as we deep dive into dripping music video caves where moans and beats echo all around, followed by a long night’s unwinding among sweat-soaked comrades, new and old.

A ticket grants you access to the screening, a 60-minute sauna session, and a complimentary snack bag (vegan and gluten-free options available).
