Mirror from heterotopia: 12 Hong Kong creative workers in Beijing / Shanghai異城心照:十二香港文化人的北京/ 上海
“To go, or not to go?” In the past decade, Chow Yiu Fai once has witnessed a northbound movement of many fellow cultural practitioners, and maybe, it’s the time to ask this question again. In this documentation of an academic research project during 2014-2015, Prof Chow interviews twelve Beijing/Shanghai-based Hongkongers – from the well-known novelist Chan Koon Chung who wrote the “China Trilogy” to a post-90s film student from Peking University. A self-reflective journey on (re-)searching cultural identity of the otherness, multi-opportunities and limitation of creative experiences in the brave new world, also, basic ethics and mission of professionalism in cultural industry.
