After Eden: Intimacies Beyond Origin, 2026, London

Before Eve was created, the first relationship in Eden existed between God and Adam, a male creator and his male creation, bound by an intimate connection. The introduction of gender difference did more than expand the human story; it reshaped the structure of desire, establishing the heterosexual couple as the central model of intimacy.

After Eden: Intimacies Beyond Origin is an interdisciplinary contemporary art exhibition presented by THE EEL PROJECT at The Crypt Gallery, London. Reimagining Eden as a narrative of belonging and exclusion, the exhibition explores how queer intimacy can exist beyond inherited structures of family, faith and identity. Bringing together over twenty artists working across photography, sculpture, installation, moving image, sound and performance, it considers intimacy as something continually constructed through desire, vulnerability, ritual and shared experience. Within the underground architecture of The Crypt, the exhibition creates a temporary space where alternative forms of belonging can emerge.

The accompanying visual identity draws on religious symbolism, gothic architecture and the visual language of ritual, translating these references into a contemporary graphic system. Developed across printed materials, digital communication and exhibition spaces, the design reflects the tension between devotion and transgression, intimacy and exclusion. Through its curatorial and visual approaches, After Eden questions the idea of a singular origin, imagining new relationships and possibilities for connection beyond established boundaries.

Curated by Bobby Zhaocheng Xiong and Faithe Yang, with visual identity and art direction by Bobby Zhaocheng Xiong. Presented by THE EEL PROJECT at The Crypt Gallery, London.
