Hong Kong-based artist Ha Bik Chuen is primarily known as a sculptor and printmaker, but he also had parallel practices: from photographing exhibitions he attended, to collecting materials such as illustrated magazines and artist portraits. Through looking at his archival materials, this workshop will explore how Hong Kong art in the 1960s through to the late 2000s reflects the city’s social, ideological, and cultural changes.
