A place to learn about what’s happening in our respective homes, to open respectful and constructive dialogue, and leave messages to express thoughts and support.

Description

While we share the same physical space everyday, many of us come from different parts of the world, facing devastating concerns that consume our minds. We set up a Lennon Wall in ITP —Lennon Wall was originally set up in Prague following the assassination of John Lennon. It has become a symbol of love and peace, and has been adopted in other places to show support and encouragement.
We believe these conversations should extend beyond classrooms and singular events, and hope this will be an opportunity to show that we care for each other in this community.

Narratives of Resistance and Resilience: Documenting and Making Sense of the Anti-ELAB Protests in Hong Kong

Winnie Yoe

A series of research based, data driven experiments in crafting and exploring narratives around the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill movement in Hong Kong.

Description

A series of data-driven experiments investigating non-traditional ways of resistance and resilience, created during the on-going Anti-Extradition Amendment Bill protests in Hong Kong. In each experiment, I work with different forms of protest artifacts to explore the relationship between distance and narrative ­— be it my physical distance being 8,000 miles away from events I deeply care about, distance between pro-establishment and pro-democratic narratives, or the distance in media rhetoric and interpretations.

These experiments, along with my article Reshaping Hong Kong’s Identity through a Decentralized Protest (published in ADJACENT Issue 6), are part of a larger research project where I am trying to answer how does one take manageable steps and more nourishing approaches as a form of resilience.
