Both Sides Now explores the cultural, political and social connections and differences between the UK and China & Hong Kong.
Our programme of UK-based artists will be shown across East Asia. Artists include: Adam Chodzko, Alia Syed, Ben Rivers, Charlie Tweed, Chooc Ly Tan, Iris Zaki, Larry Achiampong and David Blandy, Megan Broadmeadow and U. Kanad Chakrabarti.
The East Asia screening programme has been curated by Jamie Wyld and Moritz Cheung, videoclub.
Both Sides Now is curated and produced by videoclub (UK) and Videotage (Hong Kong). The aim is to open up dialogue between Chinese, Hong Kong and British film artists and audiences, working with artists’ moving image to reinterpret the experience of here and now for both cultures.
A wider programme of activity will take place in the UK, China, Hong Kong and other cities in East Asia region, including a residency at Phoenix Brighton (UK), and exhibitions at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery (UK) and oi! in Hong Kong.
Videotage is a leading non-profit organisation in Hong Kong focusing on the presentation, promotion, production and preservation of video and media art, serving artists in the expanding technological art and culture network. Since 1986, Videotage has developed itself from an umbrella for media artists, to a network of media art and culture for cross-disciplinary cultural productions, and platform to facilitate international exchange.
