Details (from hku.hk)
Department of Comparative Literature, Faculty of Arts and the University Museum and Art Gallery at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) jointly present — “Eileen Chang at the University of Hong Kong: An online presentation of images and documents from the archives” on the occasion of the centennial celebration of Chang’s birth this year.
Curated and introduced by Professor Nicole Huang, Chairperson of the Department of Comparative Literature in the Faculty of Arts, this online exhibition pieces together a narrative that highlights the beginning of an extraordinary literary career. We celebrate Chang’s connection with HKU as an important chapter in the history of both the Faculty of Arts and the larger university community.
Drawing from previously unseen material from the HKU Archives and other public and private collections, this exhibition redefines Chang’s solitary experiment as an important chapter in our collective knowledge of global Chinese and global English. “As Chang’s alma mater and a starting point of her literary journey, HKU and the Faculty of Arts have a responsibility to help preserve her legacy. The narrative that emerges from these images and documents in this online presentation is only the beginning. When public events are permitted again on campus, we will unveil a physical exhibition at the historic Fung Ping Shan Library with a larger collection of images and documents. Our work will continue, and the legacy of Eileen Chang lives on”, said Professor Huang.
