Bi Cheng Senter
Bi Cheng Senter is a PhD student in Cultural Studies at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her research focuses on the political aesthetics of East Asian avant-garde art, centering on contemporary and experimental art forms and movements in post-war South Korea. She aims to examine how these arts use unique ideological discourse, concept generation, strategy, and gesture to challenge authoritarian paradigms and respond to social mechanisms, analyzing their depiction of materials and subjects estranged by rights through utopian imaginaries, collective expressions, and narratives of trauma and cultural conflict.
Prior to this, She earned a BA in Media Arts Production from Emerson College and an MA in Arts Politics from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. She is also engaged in experimental video and photography production, as well as curatorial practice.

Cheung Shui Yee
Cheung Shui Yee
I am an MPhil student in Cultural Studies at CUHK. My project focuses on the intersection of leftist dissident movement and colonialism in Hong Kong's 70s. Through my research, I aim to reinterpret the colonial reality in Hong Kong as an institutional strategy maneuvered by multiple political forces in their border-crossing interactivities oriented to subverting or upholding regional hegemony. I will be studying the intellectual interexchange as well as international/regional activism in the late Fiery 70s of Hong Kong to go beyond the colonized/colonizer dichotomy and locate Hong Kong subjectivity in the dynamic undercurrent beneath the seemingly monolithic rule of colonialism.
