Christine (she/hers/siya) is a Hong Kong-raised, Filipino writer, researcher, and filmmaker from Hong Kong. At the heart of her interdisciplinary research and praxis lies a broader interest in the relationship between memory, migration, and “post”-/anti-/decoloniality in the context of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, specifically the Philippines. Her writing has been published in Kritika Kultura, Voice & Verse, Spill Stories and Verge: Studies in Global Asias.

Storytelling and community building are integral to her praxis. Screened at the 2021 Southeast Asia x Seattle Film Festival, Sisig and Puchero (2021), is a documentary short she co-directed which questions what remains constant for migrant workers in a world that has been put on pause by COVID-19. She is co-founder and co-director of be/longing, a community arts-for-education lab that harnesses the transformative power of storytelling to cultivate and co-create cultures of inclusion for Hong Kong’s ethnically-diverse communities.
