《遺書》Story Telling節錄
”由細到大，從來都冇擔心過返唔到屋企。
玩到幾夜都好，去得到旺角，就一定返到屋企。
而家，我哋去到好遠好遠嘅地方，原來真係會搵唔到返旺角嘅路……”
今日正式開展，多謝大家光臨，兩場live show都有好多人嚟聽。睇到大家咁投入，仲一齊喊一齊唱，真係好感動🥺
呢個展覽入面每一隻字、每一幅畫、每一張相，都係我哋香港人嘅血同汗，我哋唔可以俾佢哋白白流走。嚟緊幾日，希望大家可以叫更多朋友嚟，將香港人嘅故事流傳下去。
The exhibition launched today. Thank you for coming. Many audiences attended both live shows. Seeing everyone's involvement, cried and sang together was really touching🥺
I hope that everyone will consider it worth joining the exhibition. Every word, every painting, and every scene all is the blood and sweat of our Hong Kong people. We can't let it go. In the next few days, I hope you can call more friends to pass on our story.

回應葛珮帆「博士」專欄
**********
因擁有俗稱「文憑工廠」巴基斯坦 Greenwich University 博士學位而被香港人恥笑為假博士嘅葛珮帆女士，早前於東方日報的專欄，撰寫有關本組織現正舉辦嘅《香港不自殺聲明2019》嘅文章，因為已經冇人睇東方嘅原因，Athena’s Army用咗接近一個月先留意到呢篇專欄，現向假女士，oops sorry係葛女士作出以下回應。
首先多謝葛女士寫啱我哋展覽標題，我哋自己人有時都寫唔啱，但係竟然連標點符號、年份所有嘢都寫啱仲要放喺啱嘅位置。
第二，葛女士漏咗我哋地址，展覽於曼徹斯特城嘅市中心舉辦，詳細地址為5 Kelvin Street, Manchester City Centre, M4 1ET. ，葛女士可以快啲叫國安嚟拉我哋。
嚟到英國做二等公民，生活過得好悠閒，我哋展覽每日只會開三四個鐘，文末會提供埋開放時間，費事你哋摸門釘。
第三，我哋團隊實在估唔到原來葛女士都有返啲文化氣息，會關心海外嘅藝術文化展覽，令我明白到原來人不可以貌相，實在令我哋獲益良多。
第四，今日係我哋展覽嘅第二日，嚟緊展覽仲有七日直至到下個星期日，希望葛女士坐言起行，快啲買張機票過嚟，我哋一定會好好招待你。
以上
祝葛女士早日完成到一個正統嘅博士課程。

Exhibition Highlights - Fading Hand in Tears
Artist: Yiu-Wai Chu
Artist Statement: Some traces are helplessly forgotten in my mind, and can only be sublimated into another form to continue forever.
由展覽地下上一樓的梯間，會看見一系列印畫。朱耀煒的作品有多個閱讀方法：
那隻手像是在煙霧中拋出雞尾酒，也可能是正在嘗試撲滅正在燃燒的催淚彈，也可能是在煙霧離漫中嘗試抹掉淚水
歡迎大家跟着藝術家設定的題目去想像和解讀，而當一步一步向上走的時候，就會見到隻手的形象逐漸變淡，可以解讀為時間嘅消逝，也可以解讀為要一路再向前走… 要進化、演變…
於是上到去的時候，映入眼簾嘅係阿朱另一個裝置作品

Exhibition Highlights - Water Traces
Artist: Yiu-Wai Chu
Artist Statement:
The imperturbable drawing machine replaced me in expressing my perseverance. Using water as a metaphor, it is trying hard to draw a stone or even a mountain. Although the water can’t leaving any traces, it just transforms into another form. Eventually, it will return and flow onto the canvas to create new traces.
Let’s try to sketch a forgotten moment.
阿朱另一個裝置作品，是以一個機械代替他本人嘗試畫出石頭甚至山脈，當然亦都會引申到大家想像愚公移山的故事：究竟我們可不可以帶住我們過去的經驗同記憶，向前走，將大石移走呢？或者建構我們自己的山脈？
究竟如何才能做到呢？
就要大家一起思考了。
素描簿是讓大家畫低眼前的影像。至於代表甚麼，或者只有當刻的自己才知道。

【媒體報導】英國展覽《不自殺聲明》 望藉此讓移英港人謹記19年以生命換自由
//2019年香港街頭抗爭的灼熱同時，社會中卻不斷出現令人不寒而慄的多宗「無可疑」自殺案，不少抗爭者深懼自己會在被捕後「被失蹤」、「被自殺」，故紛紛寫下自己的「不自殺聲明」。//

【呼籲杯葛香港立法會選舉聯署聲明】
由2019年反送中運動開始，港共再一次同我哋講和平手法係無用㗎。無數手足以血汗、甚至犧牲去捍衛民主自由，亦嘗試過用和平方法增加政治參與度、爭取民主實行真普選。但無論係區議會選舉，定係之後嘅35+，港共政權都係一次又一次用揦鮓手段去DQ有民意授權嘅代議士，肅清所有反對派。
一國兩制名存實亡，民主空間再進一步被壓縮。今年嘅立法會選舉唔單止無向民主方向發展，仲用各種手段阻止有違共產黨意思嘅人參選，或者喺無實質證據嘅情況下用國安法任意將佢哋拘禁，全面落實所謂「愛國者治港」，唔允許制度內再有任何異見，一黨獨裁指日可待。十二月嘅立法會選舉已經確確實實係一個「北韓式」選舉，由中國共產黨全權操控，任何參選與呢個選舉嘅候選人同參與投票嘅人都等同贊同呢個政權嘅做法。
所以有良知嘅人、仍然堅持𡁵嘅人都唔應該參與呢個偽選舉，一個唔能夠代表到香港人民意嘅選舉。即使喺香港發表言論會被港共監控，但絕對扼殺唔到我哋嘅思想。喺呢度，我哋作為海外流亡組織呼籲同邀請香港人及其他組織加入聯署，全面杯葛抵制香港立法會選舉，對迂腐嘅選舉制度作出政治抵抗：不參選、不投票、不宣傳、不承認。

Exhibition Highlights - Cocktail – Jack Daniels Whiskey
Artist: Kacey WONG
Wong is exhibition a piece from his series of “In Dire Straits.”
Kacey WONG 黃國才 (www.kaceywong.com)
Born in Hong Kong, Kacey Wong studied architecture in Cornell University and received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Chelsea School of Art and Design and Doctor of Fine Arts Degree from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. His research investigates artist’s and designer’s role in social political causes.
Kacey的作品是一個火魔的凝固狀態。藝術家把將會爆炸的一刻停頓下來，並表達背後充滿着憤怒、淚水和汗水的狀態。作品同時充滿着美感和憤怒，形成了矛盾和對比，他用了一個尺寸較細的就酒瓶處理這份作品，彷彿像訴說我們的地位看似卑微，但我們的力量可以很強大。
Kacey’s art piece is a frozen Molotov cocktail. The artist pauses the moment before its explosion, which contains many fits of anger, tears and hardship. The beautiful outlook of the work is in sharp contrast to the anger contained within. The size of the cocktail is small, but its potential energy can be gigantic, just like the power of people who do not uphold any significant political seats.

Exhibition Highlights - Lo Ting
Lo Ting is getting up at Hong Kong’s border, next to the fish ponds, in front of Shenzhen CCP China.
Artist: Clara CHEUNG
Artist Statement:
Hong Kong is well known for its skyscrapers. However, at the northern border of Hong Kong, a large area of greens and rural villages have been preserved for a long time as a practical separator from CCP China. Besides the previous military consideration under British rule, this green separator is now considered essential for sustainable development in the city. However, under the rule of CCP, development policies in the north of Hong Kong have been progressively changed. As a result, many villages, farmlands and fish ponds, which are among the last green resorts of Hong Kong, are facing the fate of being demolished and evacuated.
Such disruption wakes up one of the Hong Kong ancestors, Lo Ting, a community of half-man-half-fish creatures who lived in Hong Kong a thousand years ago.
這幅畫嘅背景係新界北部馬草壟上面嘅小山丘向北望嘅景象， 可以見到深圳，沙塵滾滾，過度發展；而香港呢邊仲有靜土得以保留。新界東北發展嘅問題如火如荼，除左係環保事宜，其實亦係香港邊境事務。政府想盡快發展新界北部，真正目的就係想完全剷除中港區隔嘅邊界。究竟我哋仲可唔可以抵御北方“發展壓倒一切”嘅意識型態？
畫面嘅前方，係盧亭人魚慢慢起來嘅狀態。
盧亭：傳說千幾年前，在香港新生活的半人半魚生物，被記載喺廣東地方誌、新安縣誌。
有說他多在大嶼山出沒，近年亦有被影視作品借用作題材。
盧亭人可以話係香港第一代原住民，喺北方嘅發展侵略之際甦醒，背後嘅象徵意義就留畀觀眾去理解。

Lo Ting is getting up at Hong Kong’s border, next to the fish ponds, in front of Shenzhen CCP China.
Artist: Clara CHEUNG
Artist Statement:
Hong Kong is well known for its skyscrapers. However, at the northern border of Hong Kong, a large area of greens and rural villages have been preserved for a long time as a practical separator from CCP China. Besides the previous military consideration under British rule, this green separator is now considered essential for sustainable development in the city. However, under the rule of CCP, development policies in the north of Hong Kong have been progressively changed. As a result, many villages, farmlands and fish ponds, which are among the last green resorts of Hong Kong, are facing the fate of being demolished and evacuated.
Such disruption wakes up one of the Hong Kong ancestors, Lo Ting, a community of half-man-half-fish creatures who lived in Hong Kong a thousand years ago.

Exhibition Highlights - Wounds of Freedom
Artist: Mate
Artist Statement:
The creation concept of ‘Wounds of Freedom’ echoes the sacred scripture of Buddhism, ‘Lotus Sūtra’ - ‘No peace in three realms, same as a firing house’. The scripture stated, we, as humankind, are living in a realm that is full of fear and suffers, which is expelled from how kindliness or crudeness we are. The bigger world is simply as a house in large fire and terror surrounding us that we have no space to hide. It is a portrayal of Hong Kong. Surveillance, restriction from invisible threat and suffering spread through the air. People who live in this city had to be very cautious in every single step and could only breathe in a line of wrecked freedom. Every time we step ahead, we are not only afraid of being arrested and prosecuted but disappeared and murdered.
Line and clay are the base elements of the work. Restricted by hidden lines represent the inability of escape and powerlessness of life. These two sets of artworks portrayed the dreadful psychic of being exposed in front of death threats and the political atmosphere of Hong Kong in the past two years by the red and blue flames, respectively. The invisible pressure and panic occupied our hearts like the fire burst through the house. It also unveiled that the future waiting for us is not heaven but the ruin after the burst.
此作品意境取自妙法蓮華經中的一句：「三界無安，猶如火宅」，意指人存活於世，不論好壞，皆要面對一個充滿了恐懼與苦難的世界。偌大的世界就似是一個滿佈火焰的房子，不論走到哪處都是可怖而不安。猶如火宅，正正是現今香港的境況，監視、束縛、苦難皆是。我們只是在這個圍城內步步為營，只能依循一份假借的自由負隅頑抗。作品以線和泥土為素材，畫面中的人被無線的線所束縛著，顯示著不可掙脫的無力感。置身在火宅之中而不可掙脫，等於著我們的未來，並非淨土，而是焚燒過後只剩頹垣敗瓦的剩土。

【道歉聲明】
展覽其中一位策展人兼story telling表演者村姑，發出嚴正道歉聲明。
作為一名策展人兼story teller，籌備工程應準備得更充分和考慮大家感受，今次教訓令我獲益良多，下次，我承諾會做得更好。
對於story telling整喊晒啲觀眾，仲要唔提供紙巾，我深深道歉。
村姑上
Apology Statement
As one of the curators of the exhibition and the performer of the story-telling, Country Girl would like to sincerely apologise for the imperfect experience.
The preparation could have been more considerate and taking into account the audience's feelings. This lesson has benefited me a lot, and next time, I promise to do better.
I am deeply sor9ry that the story-telling has made lots of audiences into tears, and without providing tissue and napkins at the scene.

Exhibition Highlights - Yellow object - Filial Duty Calls / Love in the Time of… / Prologue: Guilt
Artist: rice and beans theatre
PLAYWRIGHT’S NOTES
Since the Handover in 1997, the Hong Kong government and Communist China continue to strip us of our culture, rights, and liberty. The imposition of the National Security Law marks the end to Hong Kong's autonomy. The road to freedom is going to be a never-ending uphill struggle.
This project is a collection of what was, what has been, what is, and what could be. This is written from the vantage point of somebody who is homesick more than ever. This is a rally for the ones who are still risking their lives out there. This is written in remembrance of those who cannot be there anymore. This is a lament of families broken and loves forever lost. This is a warning for anyone who would listen, and for those who would not. Whatever it is, yesterday feels so long ago, and yet tomorrow seems farther away still.
Revolution is a process. Revolution takes generations. We fight, so that our children’s children can keep fighting the good fight. For freedom. For justice. For truth. For love. Take action. Do something even when you can’t. We must keep on. We must never forget.
