Live Drawing × Visual Narrative

In this show-and-tell session, cartoonist Justin Wong will adopt a visual narrative approach - drawing live on stage while narrating - to lead us through his 20-year journey as a political cartoonist in Hong Kong. In the process, he will share his thoughts on Hong Kong and identity, and reflect on artistic creation and its connection to society since relocating to the UK.
