Tales of Resistance: Allegory and Myth - Exhibition & Opening Night

Hong Kong–born artist Kacey Wong returns to The Hague for a an exhibition at NGO DEI. The exhibition will offer profound reflections on conflict, exile, and imagination, exploring how humor, allegory, and myth serve as tools of resistance in an era of authoritarian expansion.

Through installation art, photography, and satirical works, Wong examines how laughter, absurdity, and satire can be transformed into powerful acts of resistance.

Wong will situate Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Ukraine as interconnected frontline sites of both military and cognitive warfare, weaving together three narrative threads: the 2019 anti-extradition movement in Hong Kong, Taiwan’s ongoing vigilance against authoritarian threats, and apocalyptic visions of a post-apocalyptic world shaped by conflict and displacement. Art thus becomes a theater of resistance, challenging viewers to contemplate the power of imagination, humor, and collective courage in the defense of freedom and human dignity.

During the opening night, the artist will construct a small fortune-telling temple inside the gallery and offer us a live performance titled "Living Deity".

Artist: Kacey Wong is a Hong Kong–born political artist and activist. Now living in exile in Taiwan and formerly a visual arts professor in Hong Kong, Wong draws on his personal experiences of political upheaval and displacement.
