Global Hong Kong Cultures explores Hong Kong cultural production, identity, memory, and belonging across local, transnational, and diasporic contexts. The SIG brings together scholars working on film, media, literature, art, performance, digital culture, migration, and community practice to examine how Hong Kong is imagined, circulated, contested, and remade globally.
