The theme is broad, encouraging unique interpretations by artists and visitors.Co-hosted by Justice Centre Hong Kong and the European Union Office to Hong Kong and Macao, and supported by the Goethe-Institut Hongkong, the exhibition is
curated by KY Wong and
judged by a distinguished panel including
Celia Ho, Curator, Para Site;
Eugenia Law, Assistant Curator, Mill6 CHAT;
Joseph Chen, Director of Culture, Eaton HK;
Mou Tse, Nicholas Li Associate Curator, M+; and
Victoria Tang-Owen, Co-founder, Thirty30 Creative and Victoria Tang Studio.

Established and emerging Hong Kong artists, community artists, as well as youth artists are represented in the shortlist with a diverse range of media and subject matters, including international displacement, climate change, labour migration, feminism, and gender and sexual diversity.
