In the Mood for Love, a group exhibition presented at VillageOneArt in New York City, brought together 19 contemporary artists whose diverse practices explored the complexities of human connection, emotional experience, and the evolving meanings of love.
Curated by Christy Dandan Qin and Ruoqi Amy Zhou, the exhibition invited audiences to consider love beyond conventional romantic narratives, opening space for reflections on intimacy, vulnerability, identity, and the relationships that shape human experience.
