About

munyu is a space for individual and collective artistic practice, shaped by artists and affiliated practitioners.

Since 2024, munyu has been an ongoing experiment in space-making and infrastructure-building.

We have presented a range of programs, from exhibitions and artist talks to experimental workshops and independent, non-resident projects.

As a community-based organization, we embrace an egalitarian, non-hierarchical structure.

Resident artists coordinate activities on a rotational basis, ensuring that the space evolves through shared responsibility and collective care.
