Curated by Rae-Yen Song 宋瑞渊, OFFERINGS is the live programme of events unfolding within the main gallery exhibition •~TUA~• 大眼 •~MAK~• at Tramway. Conceived as a wider school~theatre~ecosystem, this series of gatherings brings together conversations, performances, workshops, experimental sound and collective rituals.
 
•~TUA~• 大眼 •~MAK~• is imagined as a living environment, where sculptural costumes, artefacts and instruments become carriers of energy - tools for exchange, learning and transformation. Each event feeds the next: invited artists, teachers, family and friends share their wisdoms, creating space for audiences to gather.
 
OFFERINGS is an open call to come together to expand on themes within the exhibition; in this way the work continues to grow and be shaped through the communities it hosts and holds.

During Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art ( 5- 21 June 2026), •~TUA~• 大眼 •~MAK~• will become a host for a live operatic decomposition which unfolds across the course of festival. Performers, musicians, and vocalists will take up Rae-Yen’s sculptural and textile works as instruments and costumes, telling the exhibition’s life-death-life story as a musical communion of humans, spirits, and other species.

Performances will take place in the gallery during the preview (5 June) and on Saturdays and Sundays during the festival. They will be free and unticketed.
Visit the Performances page for a full list of dates and times. 

•~TUA~• 大眼 •~MAK~• is co-commissioned by FVU, Tramway, FACT, and Advanced Research Centre at the University of Glasgow, and supported by Thinking Culture, a cultural programme from the University of Glasgow’s School of Culture & Creative Arts.
