  • Title
    • "We Persist, Therefore We Have Hope: Trauma and Resilience of Hongkongers through Their Art since 2019"
  • Summary
    • "We Persist, Therefore We Have Hope: Trauma and Resilience of Hongkongers through Their Art since 2019" is an art exhibition and discussion panel event organised by academics from the School of Medicine, the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies, and the School of Creative Arts, working in partnership with members of the Hong Kong community. Bringing together transdisciplinary perspectives across narrative medicine, resistance studies and creative arts practice, the proposed exhibition and discussion panels will be the inaugural event of the "protest art" theme to be pursued by the Centre for Resistance Studies (CRS) in the coming years, as well as informing the critical early stage of a PhD investigation that examines Hong Kongers' communal trauma and resilience through narrative methods. Viewing protest art as a "repertoire of contention", we explore questions of trauma, resilience, solidarity, and resistance, and how these inform Hong Kongers' emerging identity as a distinct ethnic community. Through dialogue with artists/activists, this event will contribute to the development of the CRS archive of resistance narratives.
