LOST CONTACT
A cross-city and online program that explores the shifting nature of love, connection, and solitude in contemporary life. Through personal narratives, public gatherings, and experimental practices, LOST CONTACT opens space for reflection on how relationships are formed – and fractured – amid changing bodies, politics, and technologies.
In an age of hyperconnectivity and growing disconnection, LOST CONTACT is a curated public program that unfolds across Beijing, Guangzhou, and the internet. It brings together artists, scholars, and communities to explore how we form, sustain, and sometimes lose our bonds – with others, with ourselves, and with the world around us.
- Online, we share first-person stories and writings that reflect upon intimacy, distance, and the fragile threads of connection.
- Offline, in Beijing and Guangzhou, we host talks, workshops, and presentations that explore alternative social practices and foster shared emotional experiences.
By bringing together voices from diverse backgrounds, LOST CONTACT creates a space to collectively confront the growing sense of social solitude and the challenges of building meaningful relationships in contemporary life. It is both a platform and a process – an invitation to rethink how we relate, resist, and reach out.
