""The term global majority resonated deeply with my own experience of living abroad. The sensation of being perceived as 'other' during my formative years shaped this mission.""
""It felt like an erosion of the Hong Kong I'd grown up in. But also, I saw an extraordinary resilience among the people around me, and the continued arrival of new communities speaking languages you would expect to hear in any global city.""
""The foundation is, in many ways, an extension of that condition, where my cultural identity and diasporic experience are anchored.""
The Cheng-Lan Foundation opened in Hong Kong to support artists from historically overlooked communities. Founded by Brian Yue, it evolved from a scholarship program to a platform for African, Asian, Indigenous, and Latin American artists. Yue's personal experiences shaped the foundation's mission. The inaugural exhibition features Cian Dayrit, known for his work on colonialism and resistance. The foundation aims to create a permanent collection through acquisitions and commissions, reflecting the resilience and diversity of Hong Kong's cultural landscape.
