White Rabbit Gallery

Chippendale | Until May

White Rabbit Gallery showcases contemporary Chinese works and is a Sydney institution. Their latest exhibition XSWL: It’s All Fun and Games… Until Someone Loses an Eye.

The exhibition dives into China’s digital playground, where memes and slang like “XSWL” (“laughing to death”) challenge censorship and dissect social tensions.

Through bold colours and playful imagery, the showcased works explore dark undercurrents beneath seemingly light-hearted themes.

This provocative collection turns humour into a sharp critique of societal pressures, making it a must-see.
