Tukao Show 2 marks the return of a long-running collaboration between Milline Low and Kangblabla, continuing a dialogue that began with their first Tukao Show in 2015. Rooted in honesty and emotional exposure, the exhibition reflects a shared commitment to expressing vulnerability without restraint.
At its core, Tukao Show 2 is about confronting the fear of being seen the discomfort of revealing one’s inner self in a public space, and the risk of judgment that comes with it. Rather than avoiding this tension, the artists lean into it, using their work as a means to speak candidly and intuitively. The result is a body of work that is raw, direct, and unapologetically human.
While the Tukao spirit has often been described as crude or influenced by “bad taste,” this roughness is intentional. It functions as a rejection of polished façades, allowing space for sincerity, imperfection, and emotional truth. The exhibition emphasizes that vulnerability is not a weakness, but a shared experience one that gains strength when met with openness and community.
Presented at MassHaus, Tukao Show 2 is both a continuation and a reaffirmation: a reminder of why the artists began this journey together, and why they continue to show up honestly, even when it feels uncomfortable.
