Reception
Rachel Cheung of the South China Morning Post reviewed the exhibition. She stated that "Tai Kwun should be applauded for putting up a show on the timely topic" and that publicly discussing the subject brings progress on the matter. Cheung argued that the protagonist of the animation Who’s the Daddy, a 2017 short film by Wong Ping, reflects misogyny in regards to bodies and that the work overall "feels out of place in the exhibition."
