Lau’s own work, rooted in the ongoing struggle for freedom in Hong Kong, engages directly with the artists’ experiences, finding common ground between historical Czech normalisation period, resistance and contemporary movements for justice in her stays in the Czech Republic from 2018-2022. In this project, art becomes a bridge—connecting past and present, East and West, personal memory and collective experience. Hungarian artist KristofLab joins them, echoing themes of freedom and humanity in his local practice.
As Far, as Exile is asking: What does it mean to be exiled, to resist, and to find one’s identity in a world that seeks to define you? This exhibition is not just a conversation across generations, but across borders, a testament to the power of solidarity in the face of oppression.
