Subculture is understood as a lived space shaped through shared sensibilities, codes, and ways of seeing that exist alongside rather than in opposition to, the mainstream. The inaugural group exhibition at Cultprint’s newly upgraded gallery, realized with the support of its expanded team, brings together established and emerging artists whose practices inhabit cultural margins while articulating identity, materiality, and attitude on their own terms.
Rooted in self-defined communities, informal networks, and collective sensibilities, the works explore subculture as a condition of making: fluid, self-determined, and embedded in everyday experience, asserting an internal logic rather than conforming to imposed definitions. Operating across diverse media and approaches, the exhibition draws attention to practices that negotiate the peripheries of mainstream discourse, exemplifying how subcultural networks shape production, perception, and engagement. Together, these works frame subculture as an ongoing process of becoming, formed through action, experience, and self-determination. What takes form is a vivid snapshot of contemporary practices that continue to push, stretch, and redefine the contours of subculture today.
