Dear all,

 

Thank you for taking part in the EU Exhibition and debates! It was a great experience and honor meet - and get to know - so many dedicated and knowledgeable people and we know that the events and meetings have set seeds for future projects and cooperation.

 

Though China did not roll back Article23 and the Art Market in Hong Kong seems to keep censoring, we definitely started some echoes that won’t die down easily. Chinas harsh reaction is a sign that a unifying EU is not on their wish list. Also MEP’s Thijs Reuten and Domenec Ruiz Devesa are working on a collected EU request to China to get back the Pillar of Shame.

 

On the Art Market side, the media has had a quite critical view on the Hong Kong Art Week in the light of oppression and censorship. Our debate and the exhibition was mentioned and quoted and Jens and especially Eric Wear got to share their points of views quite a lot. See the list.

 

If you did not read it already do check out US Department of States ‘2024 Hong Kong Policy Act Report’   it is very spot on.  

 

Once again, thank you so much!
