Contemporary and alternative art in Hong Kong has strong local roots and translocal connections, and while it reflects cultural politics in the city, it lacks substantial international recognition. This interdisciplinary analysis focuses on the contexts of production of contemporary art by women in Hong Kong and their centrality in the city's arts community. The narrative contrasts the presence of contemporary and alternative arts and its absence from art criticism discourses through the disjuncture between the geopolitics of contemporary Asian art and the making of Hong Kong into an unprecedented territorial formation. Reading local art through alternative space-time concepts and intersubjective arts practice is proposed through the exhibit-event, 'If Hong Kong, A Woman/Traveller'.
