Art, Migration & Representation Mapping Ethnic Minority Migration and Exhibitions in
Hong Kong, 1933–2020

Nicole M. Nepomuceno

This project looks at Hong Kong art through the lens of migration. Exhibition history is presented in parallel with the history of Indian sailors, Gurkhas, African businessmen, Vietnamese refugees, Southeast Asian migrant workers and other non-Chinese Hong Kongers in the city. The result is a juxtaposition that shows the impermeability of Hong Kong art to its non-Chinese communities of color and provokes dialogue about the invisibility of ethnic minorities from the Global South in the making of Hong Kong culture.

Hong Kong Art Writing
1960s–1990s

Tiffany Hui

Art writing is crucial to the development and formation of an art ecology, as it shapes and records the development in both active and responsive roles. Thus, tracing the dominating or major art publications and the contributors in the course of its development enables us to gain a more holistic understanding of the art world.

The Struggle of Spatial Politics

Wong Tin Lok

This satellite illustrates the organic relationship between artist-run spaces (ARS) and pop-up art events (PAE) in Hong Kong from the mid-80s onwards. ARS and PAE overlap one another in terms of their site-specificity, non-permanency, and focus on artists, oftentimes appearing as responses to social events. Hence it would be apt to study the interrelationship between ARS and PAE from an experiential standpoint to shed light on how artists in Hong Kong were thinking about art in relation to space, how they contrived strategies to respond to societal changes. Another goal of this research is to create a spatial experience of ARS and PAE history.
