Angelika Li is co-founder of PF25 cultural projects, a platform cultivating exchange through site-specific, community-rooted collaborations bridging Hong Kong, Basel, and beyond. 

Her curatorial research on diaspora, identities, displacement, and their transformative potentials is integral to the ongoing project ‘Homeland in Transit’, which she initiated in 2019 and has developed across exhibitions in multiple international contexts. Over time, a deeper thread has surfaced: the need not only to understand these conditions, but to repair, recalibrate, and reconnect.

This lecture introduces ‘ON HEALING’, PF25’s current focus programme. Responding to growing experiences of anxiety, disorientation, and emotional strain in contemporary life, it asks how we sustain balance without losing ourselves. Unfolding through a diverse spectrum of practices and expressions, ‘ON HEALING’ approaches healing not as resolution, but as an ongoing, shared process shaped through a diversity of artistic and embodied practices, reflection, and collective experience.

Emerging from her residency at the Helsinki International Artist Programme in 2024, PF25 and Kunsthalle Kohta established an artistic exchange between Helsinki and Basel/Dornach. In this context, and in resonance with the perspectives of ‘ON HEALING’, she curates Swiss artist Dorothee Sauter’s first solo presentation in Finland, ‘Walking the Unknown’ Part II, opening at Kunsthalle Kohta in October 2026. In parallel, she is currently researching the practice of Finnish artist Magdalena Åberg in preparation for her first solo exhibition in Switzerland in 2027.

Angelika has recently worked with artists including Angela Su, Dorothee Sauter, Ellen Pau, Hedy Leung, Isaac Chong Wai, Julia Steiner, Kimsooja, Leung Chi Wo, Luke Ching, May Fung, Oscar Chan Yik-long, Tashi Brauen, Kathrin Siegrist, Winnie Soon, and has developed programmes with Kunstmuseum Basel, Kunsttage Basel, Radio X, Atelier Mondial, Momentum Berlin, ein fenster in mitten der welt, and HIAP.
