'Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong' brings to life the obscured past and the resilient present of Hong Kong, as sketched by journalist Louisa Lim. Born from a unique cultural fabric, Lim shares her deep connection to Hong Kong, offering insights into the city's history of colonial rule, its sovereign handover in 1997, and the recent tumult of citizen protests against an encroaching Beijing government. Weaving personal stories with pivotal historic moments, Lim portrays the passionate struggle of Hong Kongers to reclaim their narrative through art, activism, and an unyielding spirit of resistance. Lim revisits untaught histories, celebrates grassroots chroniclers from guerrilla calligraphers to amateur archaeologists, and exalts the influential street art of the King of Kowloon. Together, they represent the collective voice of Hong Kong, echoing between loss and reclamation, power and powerlessness, and survival against erasure.
