They dare not expose themselves to avoid being jeopardised. They hide themselves beneath a self-painted mask, with only colours and symbols to share their stories and deepest feelings. They were forced to depart from the home they were familiar with, to leave their close relatives, and to undergo tragic journeys to get here. What forces them to endure throughout their way is not the scenery at their destinations, but a desperate wish to settle down in a safe place.

Over the past ten years, SoCO has come across people of persistence and courage through our work with refugees. Living in turbulent countries rife with continuous warfare, they resist authoritarianism and violence armed with only their bare hands, stubbornly vowing to never compromise their values. However, persecution has forced them to flee from their homes and adopt an unstable and unsustainable lifestyle. In this exhibition Self-portraits, through multimedia, including photography, installations, animations and documentaries, we hope to unmask these vivid lives.

­»´äªÀ°Ï²Õ´¨ó·| ²¤¶ Introduction of SoCO

Society for Community Organization (SoCO) was founded in 1972 and is a registered non-governmental human rights organization for the underprivileged. SoCO's mission is to serve the most underprivileged in Hong Kong, including cage and cubicle dwellers, the single elderly, new immigrant women, children living in poverty, street-sleepers, people with mental illness, low-paid workers, refugees and ethnic minorities.

'For People, We Care; For Justice, We ACT!' Over the past four decades, SoCO stands together with the grassroots and conducts hundreds of social actions advocating for their fundamental human rights and advocating fair and just social policy.

With heavy shadow of the past over their life, refugees are usually too scared to reveal their identity and stories. Some refugees we knew through work never revealed their stories to any others except for their lawyers and social workers even that they have been living in HK for many years. They worried that torture or prosecution would come to them or to their families in their homeland again. Gradually they learned to wear masks in media interviews, or even wearing invisible masks in daily life. In the exhibition Self-portraits, the participating clients were wearing artistic masks for the sake of their safety. Yet on the mask, we invited them and their children to paint with their stories and feeling. To our surprise, they poured out strong emotions through colors and symbols. The painted masks tell a lot. We then took photos of our clients, capturing the moments when they were stuck in their lonely and static daily life with their masks.

Along with this exhibition, we also created a drama, an animation and a documentary with our clients. We hope to share with the public those marginal stories and at the meantime, provide each refugee a platform to stand up and voice out. "Though I am scared, the suffering pushes me to talk, to express. " Said one of the refugees. We sincerely hope that no matter how weak it is, their voice can reach your heart.

Who are Refugees¡H

People who must leave their country in order to protect their lives or preserve their freedom are classified as refugees. Those who claim to be refugees and wait for verification by either the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees or by the government of the host country are classified as asylum seekers.

In their own countries, refugees feel that their lives or human rights are seriously at risk and have no protection from their own state because of:

- who they are (e.g. belonging to a particular race, nationality or social group) or;
- what they believe in (e.g. religious beliefs or political opinion).

A refugee is not the same as an economic migrant. Economic migrants, legal or illegal, immigrate to other countries for financial reasons, such as seeking better employment opportunities or living environment. However, refugees move to other countries because they feel that their safety or human rights are being severely compromised.

Q1: Where do refugees usually flee? Do they often flee to developed areas like HK?

A1: In face of persecution, self-preservation is the main reason that refugees flee. They seldom care about where they go and when they leave their hometown, as long as they are able to avoid persecution in their home country.

Q2: How can a refugee seek protection in Hong Kong?

A2: While most countries have one single system to receive applications for protection, Hong Kong currently has two systems. One is the refugee status determination screening procedure administered by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). It screens applicants according to the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. The other is the protection offered under the Convention Against Torture (CAT), where one can make claims of inhumane torture, degrading treatment, or cruel punishment by making an application to the Hong Kong Immigration Department. It often takes years to finalize an application. There are some who have been waiting for more than 7 years.

Q3: What happens if an application is not successful?

A3: If an application has not been accepted, the person will be deported to his home country.

Q4: What happens if an application is successful?

A4: Currently, if an applicant is successful through the UNHCR system, he/she will be granted refugee status and will not be deported by the Immigration Department. UNHCR will seek to resettle that person to another country, usually to the USA, Canada, and sometimes France or Sweden. Currently, local integration into Hong Kong society is not offered by the HK government.

If an applicant is a successful torture claimant under the screening mechanism of the Immigration Department, the government will only offer to not deport the person. The government will not offer any resettlement to other countries, nor will the successful CAT claimant have the right to work, residence, education or welfare in HK. They stay on recognizance without any rights.

Q5: Can refugees work in HK?

A5: Many other countries permit asylum seekers to work. In Australia asylum applicants are allowed to work after 6 months, in the United Kingdom after 12 months, and in the United States after 150 days of stay, if the processing of the claim has not been finalized. However, in Hong Kong they are not allowed to do so, no matter how long they have stayed here.

Q6: What do refugees live on in HK?

A6: Because they cannot work, refugees in HK have to rely on the assistance-in-kind provided to them by the government. They collect food from specified shops every 10 days and receive a house rent subsidy of $1,200. However, given the high living costs in Hong Kong, this is not enough, and often they must seek help from NGOs, churches and private donors.
