Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China over the course of two decades was opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei (MOCA), and will run until June 3.
The exhibition, “(Not) Just a Historical document: Hong Kong-Taiwan Video Art 1980-1990s,” lets visitors review modern history through video artwork produced by important Taiwanese or Hong Kong artists, most of whom were actively engaged in the political events in their respective society.
According to MOCA, the title of the exhibition is a response to the claim of the Chinese government made in 2017 that the “Sino-British Joint Declaration,” signed in 1984 detailing the plan to transfer sovereignty of Hong Kong over to Beijing, was “just a historical document.” [FULL STORY]
