Charwei Tsai has participated in 15th Gwangju Biennale (2023); Performance at Climat: quelle culture pour quel futur? Centre Pompidou, Paris (2022); Screening and talk at Tate Lates, Tate Modern, London (2022); Solo exhibition: The Songs We Carry, Vernacular Institute, Mexico City (2021); Listen to the Sound of the Earth Turning, Mori Art Museum, Tokyo and Initiative for Practices and Visions o Ink on driftwood, on a mirror•
