How to Choose a Chief Executive and Other Metaphors of Hong Kong Politics

My Hong Kong life is about the same age as the Hong Kong Administrative Region, as I arrived in October 1997 a few months after the hand-over to China. With interest, I watched how Hong Kong spoke of the subtle and not so subtle transitions this radical change in circumstances wrought...

    Symposium 2024

ImagiNation:
Hong Kong 
in Exile

The inaugural "ImagiNation: Hong Kong in Exile" symposium will be held in The Hague in 2024. The Hague is the home of international courts and best embodies the symposium's aspirations for universal justice. The symposium is structured around three themes: "Preserving Identity," "Artistic Activism," and "Cultural Reshaping." These themes respectively focus on the past, present, and future. The symposium aims to explore the artistic and cultural development of the overseas Hong Kong diaspora, clarify the interactive relationship between culture and identity, promote interdisciplinary dialogue, and underscore the significance of shaping the narrative of Hong Kong. Scholars, advocates, and artists are called upon to delve deeply into Hong Kong's resilience amid ongoing changes, in order to construct a future for the displaced people of Hong Kong.
