https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD Hong Konger artist Juarts's selected artworks as featured in the art exhibition at Trinity College Dublin: "We Persist Therefore We Have Hope" - Trauma and Resilience of Hong Kongers through Their Art since 2019" May-June 2022. Biography: "I studied fine art for my degree and have exhibited my work across England. I don’t have a particular medium, instead I often choose materials according to the idea and what I want to express. In my work, I have always reflected on what is happening to the Chinese community in the UK, by exploring issues of cultural identity and difference. Since China passed the National Security Law in Hong Kong, in June 2020, many people fear speaking out, as it can be interrupted as ‘secession’ or ’subversion’ by the Chinese authorities. Many Hongkongers, just don’t know what is safe. As an artist living in the UK, I am exploring ways to respond to this political situation. I value freedom of expression. My heart goes out to the people of Hong Kong, who fight for their freedom and their rights, which they feel have been taken away from them. I want to continue to make artwork which explores and records these political changes, allowing people to express their emotions and tell their stories." en-us 2022-03-28 22:45:54 UTC 2022-05-05 14:56:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/389559972/b066e88bf388df5c5166e5283decde67/IMG_20220331_WA0001.jpg Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2118110473 Juarts: "In 2020, I was asked to make a lantern representing a Chinese boat, for a vigil, organised by the "Save 12 Hong Kong Youths" campaign.  The title refers to 12 young people who were caught and arrested by China's coastguards for allegedly crossing the border while trying to seek asylum in Taiwan, following the Hong Kong protest movement in 2019. People from around the world, including Hongkongers in Manchester, rallied to show their support for the 12 youths. For this work, the original lantern boat was used in-conjunction with the date of the Mid-Autumn Festival, as in Hong Kong we traditionally light lanterns to mark this day."]]> 2022-03-28 22:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2118110473 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2123691530 2022-03-31 14:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2123691530 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2123694063 2022-03-31 14:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2123694063 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155200726 2022-04-24 11:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155200726 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155201220 2022-04-24 11:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155201220 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155201728 2022-04-24 11:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155201728 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155202272 2022-04-24 11:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155202272 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155202852 2022-04-24 11:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155202852 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155203863 2022-04-24 11:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155203863 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155204379 2022-04-24 11:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155204379 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155204856 2022-04-24 11:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155204856 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155206002 2022-04-24 11:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155206002 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155206749 2022-04-24 11:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155206749 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155207791 2022-04-24 11:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155207791 Hongkonger30624300 https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155208818 2022-04-24 11:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/Hongkonger30624300/Juarts_at_TCD/wish/2155208818
