Echo: Black Women Artists in Hong Kong Documentary Screening
This documentary is about black female artists in Hong Kong, especially their empowerment and self-representations. In Hong Kong, where blackness is very much defined by biased mediatic representations, this documentary let the interviewees speak to the general public directly. It addresses questions such as what art forms do they produce? How do these art forms address female subjectivities and challenge the notions of beauty and femineity? What does it mean to create arts and articulate self-representations as black female artists in HK? This is a project that aspires to break not only stereotypes, but also invisible boundaries within Hong Kong and allude to those among different black communities over the world.
