In 2014, Laura was guest artist at Guerilla Project during the Art Basel - Hong Kong international exhibition at Chai Wan Mei, and she was guest artist at Karin Weber gallery in central Hong Kong.

MicroAcciones is a dance intervention project taking place in museums, art galleries or other, specific locations out of context from the theater. Initially created together with Jorge Jáuregui, MicroAcciones have been going on since 2011.

For Chai Wan Mei’s Art Guerilla Project, Laura Aris presented several new MicroAcciones. Some of them were part of the existing oeuvre, others were created specifically for the Industrial City - located in specific corners, elevators, or corridors of the building - still more were totally improvised, traveling through different locations.

Through physical interaction, performers addressed the specific architecture and design of the building, the art works exhibited, and the people visiting the place.
