Home, and a Distant Archive

by Dorothy Cheung 24:13 Hong Kong

Before the British handed Hong Kong to China in 1997, the British government has transferred many sensitive colonial documents to its archive in London. More than 20 years after the handover, many of the documents concerning the Sino-British negotiation are finally released – and they reveal a lot of details which Hong Kongers have never known. "Home, and a Distant Archive" portrays the four women aboard in London who volunteered for Decoding Hong Kong’s History, a project digitalizing the documents from the British National Archives, and their thoughts on identity, diaspora and their home in troubled times.

Selfie

by Nayra Sanz Fuentes 9:50 Spain

 

This conceptual and sensory miniature rethinks the concept of the social (self) portrait by playing with the distortions of a Big Brother impassively watching over us. A technological state of permanent control, of mechanization of a daily life ruled by a human-made inventiveness that has ended up taking control of our lives.

Who is afraid of the black man?

by Simon Gabioud  13:15 Switzerland

«No black man had ever set foot in this tiny swiss village before I came.» In the winter of 1951, the African-American writer James Baldwin spent a few months in Leukerbad, in the heart of the Valais mountains, where his lover came from. There he experienced the strangeness of a being a “Nigger”, as the children called him, sometimes terrified, sometimes intrigued. Seventy years later, in a world shaken by the murder of George Floyd and in a Switzerland undermined by racial discrimination, James Baldwin's words resonate with an odd relevancy.
