The ripples of Hong Kong’s protests against the government’s proposed extradition bill, even spread as far as the Venice Biennale last week. The Hong Kong pavilion and its exhibition that we featured in last week’s show was closed last Wednesday in response to local calls for a strike. Here in Hong Kong, around 100 galleries and art organisations also closed their doors. The Hong Kong government has withdrawn the bill, but that didn’t stop record crowds from marching in protest against the government and the police handling of the issue last week. All of this makes the theme of the 58th Venice Biennale, “May You Live in Interesting Times”, one that has particular significance for Hong Kong right now.
