Wai Ting Loretta Lau was born in British Hong Kong. She worked as a visual arts teacher for seven years, witnessing major changes since Hong Kong’s transition to China from the British colonial administration. In 2018, she moved to Prague and established herself as a political performance artist. Relocating, she joined one of the most recent diaspora waves of the post-1980’s generation. Her projects have recently incorporated and/or applied distinctive meditative/poetical methods to politically sensitive topics, spanning from the coronavirus crisis to the current Hong Kong protests to the role of women in contemporary society. Her works are probing the boundaries between political and personal identities.
