Silent Voices
Silent Voices juxtaposes work from HKBU students and established art practitioners to explore and highlight fragments of untold stories from underrepresented groups in Hong Kong.
This exhibition stems from a GE course An Introduction to Gender, Class and Race offered this fall by the Department of History at Hong Kong Baptist University. Students were provided with an opportunity to learn about the work of art practitioners such as Chan Sai-lok, Ivy Ma, and Yuenjie Maru and how they transform an idea into a work of art. In highlighting the interconnectedness of gender, class, race, and other categories, students also collected firsthand material and brought oral history elements into their interpretations. All these activities engaged the students in reflecting on individuals or groups in Hong Kong that are marginalized due to ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, occupation, disability, old age, poverty and indigenous heritage.
Silent Voices was curated by Chen Fong-fong, co-presented by the HKBU Department of History and 1a Space, and sponsored by the Hung Hin Shiu Charitable Foundation.

無聲之聲
《無聲之聲》展覽將浸大學生和藝術工作者的作品並列展示，以呈現及探索香港少數族群和邊緣人士未能述說的故事。
展覽源自今年秋季浸大歷史系開辦的通識教育科《性別、階層和種族概論》。課程中，學生認識了阿三（陳世樂）、馬琼珠（Ivy Ma）和丸仔（Yuenjie Maru）等藝術工作者的藝術創作，以及他們如何將創作意念轉化成藝術作品。學生以收集囗述歷史的方式，了解性別、階層、種族和其他面向如何同時存在，並且起相互作用。這讓學生反思基於種族、性別、性取向、職業、殘疾、年老、貧窮和原居民文化遺產而在香港處身邊緣的個人和群體。
《無聲之聲》展覽由陳芳芳策劃，香港浸會大學歷史系和1a Space合辦，孔憲紹慈善基金贊助。
