Ms. Clara Cheung
Executive Board Member
In 2007, Clara Cheung founded C&G Artpartment with her partner, Gum Cheng, in Hong Kong. The activities that C&G organise are often collective and participatory in nature, with a focus on issues surrounding the art ecology of Hong Kong as well as social and political events. C&G were invited to participate in different international art events, such as Shanghai Biennale(2018) and Singapore Biennale(2019). Clara was an elected member of Wan Chai District Council in Hong Kong from Jan 2020, until she resigned in July 2021 due to uncertain political threats. Currently based in the UK, she is a PhD candidate at the History of Art Department at University of York, researching on art exhibition history of Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore in the 1960s-70s. Her recent art practice has strong emphasis over performance art in public space, diasporic experience and community art.
