Migratory Positions: a discussion on Cici Wu's Belonging and Difference

On the concluding week of our current exhibition, we are convening a panel discussion taking Cici Wu’s Belonging and Difference as a point of departure to discuss non-linear approaches to migratory and diasporic remembrance, memory, and archives. Speakers include artist Elaine W. Ho, art historian Dr. Yeewan Koon, and academic Dr. Linda Chiu-han Lai. Moderated by critic and writer Jaime Chu.

Sunday, November 12, 5-6PM
18/F Grand Marine Center, Yue Fung Street, Tin Wan, Hong Kong

No registration required. We will also open the exhibition an extra day: 11AM-7PM. Program attendees can also pick up a copy of our new exhibition booklet with an essay by Michelle WT Wong, which is also available for download here.

Our panelists:

Jaime Chu is a writer and critic living in Hong Kong.

Elaine W. Ho works between the realms of time-based art, experimental publishing, urban practice and language.

Linda Chiu-han Lai is a transdisciplinary artist, scholar, and curator of contemporary media arts.
