Many of the developing artists included speak through their art on important issues, including the spread of militarism into everyday life (Mark Griffin), the function of memory and language in a culture of displacement (Risa Kusumoto), the uses of art and environment to dispel loneliness and anxiety (Annie Tse), environmental destruction and commodification (Jacklin Liu & Nancy Mak), and the tensions between cultural and individual identity (Patrick Misfud & Annie Cheung).
