The Godot Institute of Contemporary Art in Budapest is currently hosting the exhibition “As Far, as Exile,” featuring works by six Czech artists and Hong Kong’s Loretta Lau; the event highlights the experiences of those forced into exile due to political persecution. Through art, the exhibition explores the oppressive legacy of communism in Czechoslovakia and its parallels with contemporary Hong Kong.
Hungary has recently been negotiating an extradition treaty with China. Lau expressed concern that the treaty could endanger artists and activists seeking refuge in Europe.
