朱樂庭 Natalie CHU Lok Ting
b. 1999 in Hong Kong
Through keen interests on ancient east Asian art history and memorative rituals, CHU developed a demi-archaeology and research-based approach to express her concerns towards cultural heritage conservation in the modern era, and how individual memory and micro-histories converge into a bigger picture of collective memory and micro-history. She coordinates found objects, archival materials, texts and antiquities into installation, sculpture and ink.

李寧 LI Ning
b. 1992 in Hong Kong
LI Ning’s works use an open-ended storytelling approach to composition. Viewers may discover connections between different paintings, with topics drawn from the real world, such as lands submerged by the sea, predictions of upcoming natural disasters, and refugees drifting on the ocean. There are also imagined, surreal scenes. These originally independent prints, created at different times, are collaged into a single composition, allowing the viewer’s imagination to create narratives.
