Lorin Siu

Freelancer, engages in community arts, video, documentation, theater and arts administration.

Graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong with a Bachelor's Degree in Anthropology. As a member of v-artivist, she has been actively participating in various community art programmes, accompanying and encouraging different groups of people to participate in art creations. She believes that by expanding people's understanding and imagination of art, cultivating their creative consciousness and exploring their urge of expression, they can nurture their sense of autonomy, explore possibilities in lives, and thus build a community that is willing to listen to others and embrace differences.

Besides videos and moving images, she recently dabbled in puppetry and fabric art. She has documented the changes in the market of fabric art "Pangjai" in Sham Shui Po, and created a video essay entitled "Silky River Under the Trees" (2020). She continued her concern of Pangjai with the project "Pangjai-Art-Reconnect" in 2024. In recent years, she has been involved in various community and theater projects, including artist-in-residence at the elderly center, project coordinator, publicity copywriter and editor, etc. She has also participated in the interview and writing of the book "Invisible Light - Stories of Twelve Cleaning Workers".
