Civil Society and Art – Visual Art in Public Space
Civil society and art are often in a dynamic interrelationship: social themes that are perceived as relevant and meaningful find their expression in the arts. And art offers a medium for social debates. Hong Kong, with its vibrant cultural and creative scene and a very active civil society, is an impressive testimony to this.
The Goethe-Institut is opening a new series of discussion on the topic of civil society and art, in which various areas will be focused on in loose succession. The fourth discussion will focus on Visual Art in Public Space. Artists Wen Yau, Kacey Wong and Him Lo will share their thoughts on the topic in relation to the society that they live in. The discussion will be moderated by Vivienne Chow.
Speakers: Wen Yau, Kacey Wong, Him Lo
Moderatorin: Vivienne Chow
Venue: Goethe-Institut Hongkong

Wir sind das Volk! (homage to all peaceful revolutionaries) (exhibition)
Invited by HALLE 14, Leipzig, Germany, I participated in “The Ends of Freedom” exhibition which runs from 7/9 to 7/12/2019. I decided to use this as a platform for voices from Hong Kong in turmoil. A gigantic 10m x 5m “Lennon Wall” was created with 2,000 posters, plus some work of moving images I gathered from local artists and others on the Anti-Extradition protests in Hong Kong.
