Help NSW Hongkongers hold an art exhibition
Donation protected
(Chinese version to follow in the bottom)
The NSW Hongkongers is an independent group of Hong Kong expats and Australian citizens currently living in NSW, Australia. We formed this group after 9 June 2019 in response to the growing unrest in our home city of Hong Kong. Over the last six months, we have organised various activities to show solidarity and stand with Hong Kong.
As such, we are going to hold an art exhibition about the democracy movement in Hong Kong, titled “The Art of Defiance: Hong Kong: Revolution of our time” 6-18 February 2020 at m2 Gallery in Surry Hills, Sydney, to help engage in the greater NSW community, and spread the message of the movement further.
To capture the essence of this movement from a different angle, we will be featuring a selection of photos from photojournalists, photographers as well as posters and artwork created by various Hongkongers, illustrating “the art of defiance” of Hongkongers.
It will take around AU$10,000 to cover this two-week art exhibition. Below is the breakdown of the budget, and we would like your help to achieve this goal:
Budget – Total: $10,000
- Venue
- Printing
- Promotion
- Insurance, including venue and artwork
- Shipping and logistics
- Others, including crowdfunding thank you gifts and media opening night (if any)
As a token of thanks, the first 50 people who donate AU$50 or above will receive a 4.5cm tall mini “Lady Liberty Hong Kong” figure (colour chosen at random). For those who donate AU$100 or above, you will receive a 4.5cm tall mini “Lady Liberty Hong Kong” figure (colour chosen at random) and a handmade, movement-themed fused beads accessory (accessory chosen at random).
As we only have 50 mini figures and 30 fused beads accessories, it will be on a first come first serve basis. Please screencap your donation invoice with the timestamp and send it to [email redacted], and we will organise your thank you gift for pick up at the exhibition.
Any additional funds raised will be put towards our future events. A spreadsheet detailing the expenses will be made public afterwards.
We will be really grateful for all your help. See you at the exhibition!

2019年6月9日，一群現居澳洲新洲的香港人和澳洲公民，因看到動盪不安的香港而自發組成了NSW Hongkongers 這個獨立羣組。在過去六個月間，我們舉辦了不同的活動以表現我們與香港同行的心。
我們將於2020年2月6至18日於Sydney Surry Hills的m2 Gallery，舉辦一場關於香港民主運動的藝術展，展名將為《抗爭的藝術——香港的時代革命》。這場展覽的目的旨在與澳洲新州社區作連結，並宣揚這場運動的訊息。
為了從不同的角度去捕捉這場運動的精髓，我們將會展出一系列由不同攝影記者和攝影師所拍下的照片，以及由香港人所創作的各式海報和藝術品，以展示香港人的「抗爭的藝術」。
這場為期兩週的藝術展大約需要澳幣$10,000作經費。以下是這次活動的基本預算，希望大家能協助我們達標：
預算 – 總共: $10,000
- 租用場地
- 印刷
- 活動推廣及文宣
- 保險 ，包括場地及藝術品
- 運輸及物流
- 其他，包括眾籌謝禮及傳媒開幕禮(如有)
為了感謝大家的幫忙，首50位捐出超過澳幣$50或以上的朋友將會得到一隻4.5厘米高的迷你「香港民主女神像」(顏色隨機送出)。捐出澳幣$100或以上的朋友，將獲一隻4.5厘米高的迷你「香港民主女神像」(顏色隨機送出)以及一件以這場運動為題的自家製拼豆飾品(款式將隨機送出)。
由於我們只有50隻迷你「香港民主女神像」以及30件拼豆飾品，禮物將以先到先得的形式送出。請你把捐款收據截圖連同timestamp後電郵至[email redacted]，我們會安排你在展覽會場領取謝禮。
所有籌得的額外款項，將會用於我們以後的活動支出。展覽後我們會公佈支出報表。
希望大家能慷慨解囊。展覽見！
