As freedom of speech in Hong Kong continues to tighten, several political books and publications have been removed from public libraries, and the 40-year satirical comic strip “Zunzi” has been discontinued. On May 13, on the other side of the globe, five Hong Kong artists residing in Canada held an exhibition in Toronto, highlighting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ’s infringement on the rights of Hong Kong residents and calling on the international community to pay attention to the escalating repression of freedom of speech and press in Hong Kong.
The “Revolution in Color” art exhibition, jointly organized by five Hong Kong artists in Canada, took place on May 13 at the Fairview Toronto Public Library. The exhibition featured various forms of artwork and included live music performances. Participating artists included HUMA, Ricker Choi, Fiona Yellow, Planet Sponge, and Rock Frogger. The event attracted over 300 attendees. Artworks, postcards, and other items were also sold during the exhibition to raise funds for Bonham Tree Aid, which aims to provide aid for prisoners and improve human rights conditions globally.
