About DAWN.
Dawn is an ongoing research exploring one’s identity through the sense of locations and time between cities. The project questions the displacement, and hybridity between cultures and site over time. The ultimate goal is to give voice to the outsiders and create a space for mutual connection.

DAWN 1.0, is a quest to the word “home” through the personal relations between travelling and home cities.
Dawn 2.0 together with a local artist as a doppelganger, is an exploration to a shared question between Hong Kong young generation: “What if I stay/ move?”
Dawn 3.0 is an artistic research residency in Arts centre BUDA. With the deep-mapping method, the research further draws a parallel relationship between motherhood and cities. The presentation is named: "a City, a Girl, a House"
Dawn 4.0, is a site-specific performance happening in Itoshima (JP) and Peng Chau (HK). It cooperates with the power of myth, history and gender through a post-human ritual, tributing to the unspoken ocean legends.
