Event WebsiteAbout
London-based comics artist and scholar Justin Wong bridges political satire, visual storytelling, and cultural research in his first U.S. exhibition, "Carry-On" by Justin Wong. The exhibition brings a message of hope and humor during a tumultuous year of change, with street-level intervention and new artworks. Join us to open the exhibition on February 14th and 15th during the 2026 Art Zone at Chinatown Flower Market Fair.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
Political cartoonist and illustrator Justin Wong was compelled to relocate to London from Hong Kong in 2020, after Beijing implemented the "National Security Law," which sped up the erosion of rights promised to the region's citizens. The Chinese Culture Center reopens in a new location with a body of work (street interventions, digital illustrations, hand-made books) Wong has produced since, reflecting on his forced dislocation with wistful humor. One piece "Are you still there?" reproduces a poignant poem in postage stamp form, conjuring letters never sent to a recipient who may be long gone.
