The Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) Public Health Global Challenge Steering Group (PHGC) is developing a major research initiative in response to the United Nations Research Roadmap for the COVID-19 Recovery which calls for collective action from the international research community to leverage the power of science in support of a better socio-economic recovery and a more equitable, resilient and sustainable future. Prof. Roger Chung (CUHK) and Prof. David Olson (University of Alberta) are leading the effort to build collaborations among WUN members to support the initiative.

//Prof. Chung said, ‘The process of developing this initiative is time-consuming but extremely gratifying. WUN presents us the opportunity to assemble a truly international team which capitalise on the expertise and resources of each member. We are working on a common goal to tackle global challenges and achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals with our collective strengths.’//

You are invited to my upcoming solo exhibition 𝘽𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚 @jpsgallery !!

“How do we, as humans, individuals, and members of a community, embrace the destruction and recreation of our socio-economic cityscape, collective memories and interwoven identities?” — Elaine Chiu

Growing up in Yau Tsim Mong District, one of the busiest neighbourhoods in the city, Hong Kong artist Elaine has witnessed the drastic and continuous transformation of the urban space and environment since her childhood. The transient, fluidic, intersecting memories and impressions about Hong Kong have been deep-rooted in her consciousness and self-identity.

With the effect of the amendment of the Building Ordinance in 2011, thousands of sign boards, hand-written or neon-lit, have since been removed all around the city. In the past three years, Elaine initiated an on-site sketching campaign to record the fleeting cityscape with her paintbrush in the past three years. Street-sketching prompts her to contemplate the disappearance of numerous heritage buildings and tenement houses in the local community under rapid urban renewal.

Titled 𝘽𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚, this exhibition is a continuation of Elaine’s previous on-site sketching and community art project. Centring her research around endangered buildings, architecture, cityscape, and memories of Hong Kong, her work explores different organic carriers, and their relationship with time and people, including community spirit, architectural structures and memories, that are formed bottom-up in the urban space. This exhibition features Elaine’s latest acrylic paintings, watercolour works on paper and a fresh to her practice sculptural work. ✨

This solo art exhibition will be on view from 6th May to 6th June, 2021 in JPS Art Gallery. The opening reception will be on 6th May, 2021, 5-8pm.

[6] 7:20 種族歧視的經濟分析 蘇偉文
在歷史上，白人掠奪了黑人的勞動力，導致現今資本較黑人多。再加上社會對黑人的勞動力歧視，限制黑人進入勞動力市場，在供需法則下白人的勞動力價值上升。

「多元交織性」 (intersectionality) 指的是一個人必定會有多重的身份，例如性別、性傾向、性別認同、年齡、社經地位、國籍、種族、障別等，當種種條件交疊在一起，導致特權與歧視的出現。尤其是多元交織性的歧視，所受到歧視嚴重性更是加劇。

冷戰期間美國為了拉攏亞洲國家，亞裔「模範少數族群」成為了美國的活廣告，證明自己是能夠領導多元族群的世界之最。除了在外交上備受利用，在二十世紀黑人爭取民權(Civil Rights Movement)時，白人出現這樣的應對：「黃種人都可以是模範少數族群了，那代表白人的歧視不嚴重、是黑人自身的問題。」
