Tales of Resistance: Allegory and Myth (Artist Talk)

On April 14 Hong Kong–born artist, Kacey Wong, returns to The Hague for the second time, with a public talk at Leiden University. Reflecting on his exile in Taiwan, Wong will discuss the aesthetics of protest and how visual language emerges under censorship, authoritarian pressure, and political displacement.

He will situate Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Ukraine as interconnected frontline sites of both military and cognitive warfare, weaving together three narrative threads: the 2019 anti-extradition movement in Hong Kong, Taiwan’s ongoing vigilance against authoritarian threats, and apocalyptic visions of a post-apocalyptic world shaped by conflict and displacement.

The artist talk is completely free. You just have to sign up and secure your spot through the following link: https://linktr.ee/ngodei.

The talk accompanies Wong’s first solo exhibition in The Hague, presented from 11–26 April at NGO DEI, Westeinde 25. The exhibition extends these ideas through installation, photography, and satire, positioning art as a vital space for resistance, memory, and human dignity.
