Time Out says

Anthropological store Pulima will collaborate with the mysterious Juen Juen Gung exhibition space to present a series on prehistoric art. Step into this cave hidden inside an industrial building to find stone carvings, primitive sculptures, rock paintings, and more stemming from creativity in its earliest form.

This series involves workshops, seminars, movie screenings, and sound healing sessions, all themed around how human creativity has grown along with consciousness. Though primitive in their simplicity, these works actually show a deeper understanding of astronomy, geography, engineering, and spirituality among our ancestors than we might assume.

We’re particularly looking forward to the seminar on megalithic wonders around the world such as Stonehenge, the Moai statues of Easter Island, and the Göbekli Tepe in Türkiye, why they were constructed in their respective locations, and the mysteries within these structures that transcend time and space. There will also be a workshop on the ancient stone carvings found around Hong Kong, and several screenings of Ethno, a movie about the allegory of caves, what they symbolise, and the art found within them.

Pulima will also be hosting a pop-up store at the cave exhibition, showcasing hidden treasures from around the world that visitors will be inspired to take home once they experience the programmes. Apart from the store, all events require prior registration and an entrance fee ranging between $180 to $600.
