Keychain Connections is a series or work that explore the functionality and symbolism of keychains. It is comprised of designed objects and a workshop that explore keychains potential to connect rather than to gatekeep for protection.

Since 2022, Keychain Access (by Oliver Zichen Yuan) has indiscriminately collected images, sounds, and stories of found keychains: be it a key unlocking a door to which one shouldn’t have access or a souvenir left unnoticed for years from a far-flung relationship. These ordinarily tiny objects, chained together, mark our subconscious relationships with the vast world, and Keychain Access sets out to uncover these not-so-obvious narratives.

Here, guests are invited to foster new meanings, new identities, and new connections by showing and telling our keychains with each other. Through a series of group activities, one-on-one conversations, and collective imagination, Keychain Access: Workshop will reintroduce keychains not only as vehicles for personal experiences but also as linkages for transpersonal understandings that nurture connection and care. In this exploration of intimacy and otherness, we just may find a sense of unity in an era marked by disconnection.
