Social injustice, government incompetence, police violence, freedom retrogression; how could a citizen create positive change to the society by linking art production and politics? Hong Kong artist Kacey Wong created large amount of political artworks in the past four years, exhibiting them in the streets of Hong Kong during public protest and rallies, expanding the sites for art to exist. His works armed with black humor and a sense of performance, linking art performance and action, resistance the era of Hong Kong political absurdity.
