- **Event Description**: Step into Hong Kong’s political imagination through visual metaphors, local stories, milk tea and conversation.About this EventHow to Choose a Chief Executive: Milk Tea, Books & Hong Kong ConversationsThis exhibition translates the book “How to Choose a Chief Executive and Other Metaphors of Hong Kong Politics” by Jennifer Eagleton into a visual and spatial experience, exploring how metaphor shapes political understanding in Hong Kong. The book contains Eagleton’s observations on how post-1997 Hong Kong’s political transition was subtly and strategically mediated through underlying political discourses in everyday life imagery, social behaviour and local humour.These metaphors are then illustrated by Alice Liu, so that audiences may see political narratives rather than decode them from dense academic texts.To achieve this, visitors will be encouraged to move between literal and symbolic interpretation, mirroring how metaphor operates in language, to reflect upon the layers of cultural symbolism in governance (eg. authority and hierarchy, systems of selection and control…) contained in the visual allegories presented by Liu. They will also be encouraged to invent their own political metaphors in an interactive area.Come join us in this interactive exhibition and enjoy some delicious Hong Kong milk tea and egg tarts by the same vendor from our Hong Kong festival earlier this year!Exhibition Opening22 Aug | 1 - 6pmWesteinde 25, 2512 GS Den HaagFree entranceDin Din milk tea and egg tartExhibition Period22 Aug - 6 Sep | Thursday to Sunday, 2 - 7 pm3 euro donation
