Opening night: 4th September 6–8pm @ Schoolhouse Studios
Laetitia Um is a Chinese-Timorese/Salvadoran multidisciplinary artist based in Naarm (Melbourne). Her work moves through the emotional terrains of heartbreak, longing, and transformation, impressions that give rise to a tension between the ephemeral and the tactile. Her debut solo exhibition, Love Letters To My City (2025, Schoolhouse Studios), marks a formative moment in her evolving practice. Rooted in dreamy clarity and hand-drawn simplicity, her work creates a contemplative space. The exhibition unfolds across four distinct corners, each questioning the ties between people and place. Laetitia reflects on how those with whom she has shared pivotal moments continue to shape her sense of the spaces they once inhabited together. In doing so, the work invites a shared visual language for navigating personal and collective emotions within an increasingly polarised world.
