Curated by Nikki Lam
In Hong Kong’s most heated summer, up in smoke, we have become insomniacs. The city crumbles on a multitude of screens with passion, violence and dividing opinions, reflecting a newfound awareness of democratic actions. From a decentralised organising strategy to wide-spread guerrilla tactics, each and every one of us plays a vital role in affecting public opinion, even from afar.
Sleepless Summer is a solidarity project bringing together artists from Hong Kong and Australia, we make space for each other and rally for support in Australia. Curated by Nikki Lam, presenting works by artists Cyrus Tang, Jonathan Homsey, Badiucao, Matthew Pit, Natalie Tso (Sydney), Kingson Chan (Hong Kong), Tracy Cheng (Hong Kong) as well as a selection of independent publications on Hong Kong’s civil rights struggles, collected by Zine Coop (Hong Kong).
This is a responsive project and we invite our allies to join us. We welcome those who respect freedom of speech.
Dates: 24 – 25 August 2019,12:00pm–6:00pm. Attend on Facebook
