Break Out: IPNHK Reading & Dialogue Series is a virtual extension of the International Poetry Nights in Hong Kong (IPNHK). Break Out series will invite world-renowned poets to lead readers out of the perceived hopelessness. Poetry has the potentials to give expression to this complex global trauma through connecting elevated words to knocked-down worlds, to break us out from psychological isolation by liberating imagination, and most of all to heal the soul of humanity. The first phase of the Break Out series from May to September 2021 consists of 7 online poetry readings by Shuntaro Tanikawa (Japan), Tian Yuan (China), Adonis (Syria), Jan Wagner (Germany), Bejan Matur (Turkey), Nikola Madzirov (North Macedonia), Forrest Gander (USA), Bei Dao (China), Mang Ke (China), and Zhou Yunpeng (China).

Episode 4 –
Beyond boundaries of visual and sound - How four artistic projects extend our understanding of inter-sensory perceptions

Date: 17 April 2021

Time: 11-12am

Language: Cantonese 

Channel: Zoom* and Facebook page CUHK Faculty of Arts (*Please register here to join through Zoom if you would like to ask question live.)

Abstract:

In recent years, the line between different artistic disciplines is increasingly blurred. New forms of cultural events and exhibitions - together with the emergence of communication technologies - have provided unique avenues for artists to explore unprecedented ways to broaden their artistic horizons and ways to communicate with audiences by adopting an interdisciplinary approach to their artistic practice. These artistic projects often involve multiple sensory modalities, engaging audiences with smell, touch, sound and visual through complex interactions. The emerging culture of artists employing various interdisciplinary and inter-sensory strategies has raised questions about how rapidly the meaning and function of art are changing. This talk will examine how four artists and researchers from the fields of visual arts, music, performance and curatorship have sought to open possibilities of integrating knowledge and methods from different disciplines to foster audience engagement and inter-sensory experience.

Episode 3 –
Why Inequalities in Film and Technology Matter

Date: 13 March 2021

Time: 3-4pm

Language: English 

Channel: Zoom* and Facebook page CUHK Faculty of Arts (*Please register here to join through Zoom if you would like to ask question live.)

Abstract:

We are all experiencing inequality in some way or other. The talk is going to look at how inequality can be studied in different ways across two disciplines, Cinema Studies and Applied Linguistics. Prof. Elmo Gonzaga from the Department of Cultural and Religious Studies will explain how the worldbuilding of the spy and sci-fi movie franchises, such as James Bond, Jason Bourne, Transformer, and Pacific Rim, contrasts Northeast Asian global cities with Southeast Asian megacities. While so-called “advanced and industrialised” cities like Tokyo, Shanghai, Seoul, and Hong Kong are extolled as affluent, orderly, and dynamic, “developing” or “emerging” cities like Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, and Ho Chi Minh City (commonly known by its previous name Saigon) are debased as poor, guilty of crime, and violent.

Prof. Ron Darvin from the Department of English will discuss how digital inequality is not just about whether you have access to devices and connectivity. The types of devices you use, the contexts in which you use them, and your access to different cultural and social resources can shape different digital practices that are valued unequally. At the same time, the design and the algorithms of some platforms like Zoom and Instagram can also structure behaviour online and position users in unequal ways.
