[Online Talk] Returning with Practice: Korean Residency Research, Public Learning, and Teaching
How can an overseas residency become more than a temporary stay, developing into research, artistic practice, public exchange, and teaching? This Cantonese-language conversation brings together four Hong Kong-based artists and curators who have participated in residency and research programmes in South Korea. Drawing from first-hand experience, the speakers will discuss preparing applications, developing proposals, communicating with host institutions, adapting research in a new context, building relationships during a residency, and carrying its insights back into local practice. The session is designed for art students, graduates, emerging arts workers, and anyone interested in international residencies as spaces for research, exchange, and professional development. 📅 Friday, 2 October 2026 🕖 19:00–21:00 🗣️ Conducted in Cantonese 📺 Watch live or revisit on YouTube: search house.of.hk.literature www.youtube.com/@house.of.hk.literature Speakers Shan Wong|Foreseen Agency, ACC CREATORS 2024 Shan Wong is part of Foreseen Agency, an artist duo formed by Shan Wong and Kachi Chan.
