Supported by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia, Goethe-Institut Hongkong is pleased to present the exhibition by the artist duo Dorothy Wong Ka Chung and Benjamin Ryser's work focuses on the themes of home, people and land, and sense of belonging, featuring the works they have created with their friends from Taiwan's indigenous Truku people from 2017 to the present.

Dorothy Wong Ka Chung (1991, born in Hong Kong) and Benjamin Ryser (1989, born in Switzerland); in the Truku tribe also known as Qurug and Loking. The artists, who have been working in Europe, Hong Kong and Taiwan in recent years, often intervene in local communities in different countries with images and sounds. They are concerned with displaced communities in different places, investigating the sense of belonging, identity, imagined homelands, as well as issues related to politics and history. In recent years, their works often collect the stories of different individuals to accumulate the urban memory of the community.
