Artist Hou Lam Tsui

Ep.51 | In this episode I travelled back to Fo Tan where I sat down with artist Hou Lam. We talked about the politics of love, how the media in Hong Kong drives the heteronormative narrative, her passion for Japanese anime, finding love and the role of unloving.

Hou Lam Tsui (b. 1997) lives and works in Hong Kong. Tsui received a BA in Fine Art and History of Art from the University of Leeds in 2018. Her practice centres around personal experience, gender politics, boundaries, and peripheral storytelling. Her recent exhibitions include Blind Curve (RNH Space, 2022), Noble Rot (Para Site, 2021), and Post-Human Narratives—The Co-existing Land (Cattle Depot Artist Village, 2021). She also writes poems.
