bold bold My creative work focuses on the decolonization of Hong Kong, with a focus on the colonization British Empire. This poster is a travel advertisement poster drawn by S.D Panaiotaky from 1932 . Panaiotaky’s image serves as both a cultural relic and a social statement. My creative piece argues that this poster hides a troubling message about colonial power dynamics between the British colonist and Chinese laborer’s in the foreground, under the veneer of a lovely cityscape in the background. My research has led me to discover that although on the surface I can understand the racial prejudice and discrimination Hong Kong’s indigenous people have endured, I cannot truly understand it as a person born from a different era. Thus, I am exploring this topic from both a historical and a modern perspective . My reflective commentary will examine the history of the colonial power relationships between Hong Kong’s indigenous population and the British colonists that my creative work demonstrates . Furthermore, I will discuss the racial hierarchy between the British colonists and the Chinese due to colonialism and how they were marginalized through segregation and social class.
