Overview
This video juxtaposes scholar Ackbar ABBAS’s text on identity politics with images of Hong Kong throughout the decades before the 1997 handover, including the 1967 riots and the 1989 parade in support of the Tiananmen Square protesters. As quoted from the narration, ‘Only something that's about to disappear becomes an image’.
