It’s Nice to See You. Liu Shiyuan (刘诗园). Sewing and mixed media on polyester. 2017.

It’s Nice to See You was inspired by the presentation of Wikipedia and dictionaries, revealing political situations on refugees and immigration that Liu finds herself in on a daily basis. Due to the frequent misinterpretations and misreadings of Wikipedia articles, Liu avoids strictly defining and interpreting, but rather focuses on using poetic, experiential and emotional language to describe the complexity of things. Juxtaposing the scientific with the poetic, Liu respects each identity by embroidering the text on textile, developing the relationship between organic and artificial, and giving the freedom of interpretation to the audience.

Liu Shiyuan, born on 1985 in Beijing, is a Chinese mixed media artist based in Beijing and Copenhagen. Having travelled and lived between China, the US and Europe, her work reflects the innate sensitivity and cultivation of the Chinese diaspora. Liu employs a variety of mediums and materials in her practice, with her pieces often addressing “identity confusion” and the fluctuation of one’s life experiences.

Kai Fong Pai Dong (街坊排擋). 2015.

Kai Fong Pai Dong means “neighbourhood market stall”. Once  a quintessential part of the Hong Kong cityscape, these market stalls have faded away as a result of aggressive neoliberal gentrification. A self-organised, autonomous space in Yau Ma Tai (Hong Kong), Kai Fong Pai Dong started in 2015 as a response to the neoliberal agenda. Part second-hand shop, part event space, part fruit and vegetable stall, the space works under a “pay-what-you-can” system of mutual aid..

Kai Fong Pai Dong is run collaboratively between two farmers, a hairdresser, two farmers, a barista and an elderly neighbour. They provide a range of products and services - from weekly English lessons to locally home grown organic bananas, haircuts and local events. Through this, Kai Fong Pai Dong seeks to empower both those that run the collective and the neighbourhood community it serves.

Crossing Hennessy (月滿軒尼詩). dir. Ivy Ho (岸西). 2010. 

Crossing Hennessy is a Hong Kong film directed by Ivy Ho, set near Hennessy Road, which connects Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay and Wai Chan areas. Starring Tang Wei (Lust, Caution) and Jacky Cheung, the movie tells the story of two young people whose families, unhappy with their romantic situations, set them up on a series of blind dates with one another. They initially are not interested in each other romantically, but over time they develop a bond and eventually help each other realize the connection that was missing in their respective romantic relationships.

Director Ivy Ho was born in 1958 in Macau. She started her career in screenwriting, and has since expanded to directing and producing as well. Ho has won many awards for her films, including the Best Screenplay and Film of Merit categories at the 17th Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards for Crossing Hennessy.
