Lecture Hall, Ground Floor, 100 Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui
All are welcome! Space, however, is limited to 139 seats.
The lecture is conducted in English.

In the mid-2020s, Hong Kong continues to grapple with the socioeconomic aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and increased integration with mainland China. This talk explores the contrasts between the Special Administrative Region (SAR) leaders' efforts to recentre Hong Kong as a global financial hub and the organic, decentralising forces driven by geopolitical dynamics, fragmented mediascapes, and liberal ideologies of the 21st century. Drawing on observations of contents on the RedNote social app since 2023, when the city reopened, in this talk Jia Jia will review the research and analysis conducted while writing my book Reimagine Hong Kong and will discuss how Hong Kong's identity is constantly reshaped from the viewpoints of local citizens, mainlanders, and Western perspectives, amid Greater Bay Area demographic shifts. What defines Hong Kong as a city? Is Hong Kong nowhere or is Hong Kong now here?

Jia Jia is a cultural theorist, columnist, speaker, and independent researcher. He authored Reimagine Hong Kong (Austin Macauley Publishers, 2025). With a series of poems, Jia Jia is one of the artists of After Sunset, a cultural project involving Hong Kong’s cultural heritage.
