🗣️ Panelists
[Bobby Yu Shuk Pui (余淑培)]
Yu Shuk Pui Bobby is an artist, filmmaker, and researcher who explores the fragile intersections between body, memory, and cultural translation. Her practice moves fluidly between theoretical inquiry and personal vulnerability, weaving critical perspectives, humour, and tender everyday details into layered narrative spaces.
Working across moving image, installation, performance, and text, Bobby investigates how trauma and intergenerational silences seep into our language, gestures, and ways of being seen. She is particularly drawn to “transitional spaces” — thresholds between languages and identities, health and illness, the living and the spectral — spaces marked by rupture as well as potential repair.
Dividing her time between Hong Kong and Oslo, Bobby also collaborates extensively with migrant communities, women’s collectives, and family members, developing video-based projects that navigate the porous borders of language and cultural identity. Her works inhabit spaces that oscillate between reality and imagination, inviting viewers into gradual processes of disassembly, reconfiguration, and subtle resistance.
Bobby holds a BA from Hong Kong Baptist University and an MFA from the Oslo National Academy of Fine Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues such as The Shophouse (2024), Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences (2022), Para Site (2017), and Tomorrow Maybe (2017) in Hong Kong; UKS (2025), VI VII (2024), Podium (2022), K4 Gallery (2021), and Kunstnernes Hus (2021) in Oslo; as well as institutions and residencies in Shanghai, Tokyo, Florida, and Iceland. In 2023, she was awarded Best Director at the 17th Freshwave Film Festival in Hong Kong.
[Katrine Boel Gregussen]
Katrine is a dedicated politician from the Socialist Left Party, and a passionate advocate for equality, inclusion, and human rights. She has been a strong voice in the fight against discrimination, working to ensure that everyone – regardless of who they are or who they love – can live openly and with dignity.
Katrine believes that Pride is more than a celebration – it is a powerful reminder that the struggle for freedom, safety, and acceptance is ongoing, and that change happens when we stand together.
[Salim Yuhe Fang (方昱和)]
Salim is a Svalbardian. Born and raised in Taiwan, he saw his home country make history as the first in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. He moved to Oslo, where he earned his MPhil in Middle East Studies. Like other Svalbardians, Salim first stepped off the plane bound for Longyearbyen at the airport surrounded by fjords, wondering how long he’d stay. Three years later, he’s still here, looking forward to another dark season.
As an immigrant, Salim cares deeply about inclusion and equality. Together with his best friend Helene, he hopes to keep the Pride parade marching on for as long as possible.
