Highlights from this year’s diverse programme include a series of events that celebrate International Women’s Day, among them a lunch with Australian author Diana Reid, whose latest novel Seeing Other People explores how we define the line between self-fulfilment and selfishness.

Also on the agenda is a Cha Chaan Teng Talk by Hong Kong food writer Lui Ka Chun, who invites attendees to join him at Tai On Coffee and Tea Shop, a traditional café that was last year saved from closure by a group of young Hongkongers. Lui will share stories of how intertwined such spaces are with the city’s culture, over a steaming cup of milk tea and an egg tart or two.

And – in a talk moderated by HKFP’s Executive Editor Mercedes Hutton – poet and activist Azam Abidov will discuss how he pushed the boundaries of creativity to become an internationally-recognised writer despite spending most of his life in Uzbekistan, a country where free speech is often censored and curtailed.
