About the event
The Corner Shop presents “Mental. Behaviour. Capacity”, a multi-media exhibition by Hong Kong artist, writer, and disability rights advocate Sophie Cheung (張馨儀).
Through installation, video, painting, ordinary objects, and participatory works, Cheung transforms everyday materials, including painkillers, erasers, newspapers, tree branches, and table-tennis paddles, into poetic explorations of memory, identity, and human agency. Suspended between the everyday and the discarded, these materials invite visitors to reflect on the traces we leave behind.
Drawing from her lived experiences and over a decade of advocacy around the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the exhibition examines how legal, medical, and social systems shape the ways individuals are seen and understood. At its core is the legal term "legal capacity": how the law assesses a person's mental state to negate their legal capacity, rendering them incapable of autonomous decision-making.
