Ambiguously Yours: Gender in Hong Kong Popular Culture offers new insights into Hong Kong popular culture through representations of androgyny and gender fluidity in Cantopop, fashion, film, photography, and graphic design.
Including more than ninety exhibits, among them Roman Tam’s iconic peacock costume, a film clip from Wong Kar-wai’s Chungking Express, City Magazine covers, and works by photographers such as Julian Lee and Wing Shya, Ambiguously Yours celebrates the creative experimentation and ongoing influence of the 1980s and 1990s, while further proposing a dynamic dialogue between popular culture and the fields of art, design, and moving image.
A series of programmes – including talks, a teachers’ private view, and guided tours for the public, and school groups – accompany the exhibition. Access services for programmes can also be arranged in advance.
In the run-up to the opening of the M+ building in 2019, the M+ Pavilion functions as a temporary home for M+ exhibitions and events.
Date:
