Decolonizing my Hong Kong Identity as a Settler in Canada: An Expressive Arts-based Inquiry
表達藝術本位研究: 從加拿大遷佔者到香港去殖民化身份認同
Abstract
This paper documents an intermodel arts-based inquiry through engaging in expressive arts therapy. The author responded to reflexive questions: Who am I as a Hong Kong Chinese Canadian in the indigenous-colonial context of the 21st century? How can I carry my own decolonization through the arts? Carried out in Hong Kong and Ontario, Canada, this inquiry explored indigeneity, settler colonialism, personal and collective history, and family memories.

摘要
作者以表達藝術治療的方法論進行藝術本位研究 (art-based inquiry)，探討自身作為加拿大遷佔者(settler) 與香港去殖民化的身份認同，在「原住民 – 殖民者」(indigenous-colonial) 的脈絡下反思加拿大香港移民身份，探討如何透過表達藝術治療深化去殖民化的身份認同。本文記錄作者在香港及加拿安大略省為期三個月的藝術本位研究過程，思考原住民性、遷佔殖民主義、個人與集體歷史，以及家族記憶。
