每件入圍作品皆從 97 份參賽作品中突圍而出,且揭示對本土及海外人權議題的獨特見解。其中知名及新晉香港藝術家的入圍作品,以多元化的媒介及主題呈現,近期的社會事件、少數民族的待遇、國家加強對公民的監控及第二次世界大戰後因英國政策而被送到海外的孤兒, 且常遭受虐待的事件等。入圍作品出自不同種族背景人士的手筆,透過就人權議題的自身獨特經歷,向世界述說屬於他們的故事。為保持 Justice Centre 對多元化和包容性的承諾,是次評審以不記名形式進行,任何關於藝術家的資料,包括姓名、性別、國藉、年齡和經驗,皆不會顯示。
Each shortlisted work has been selected for their unique and insightful exploration of human rights, both at home and abroad, from the 97 works submitted. Established and emerging Hong Kong artists are represented in the shortlist with a diverse range of mediums and subject matter including but not limited to the recent civil unrest in Hong Kong, treatment of ethnic minorities, increasing surveillance by states of their citizens and the legacy of the post-World War II British policy of sending orphans abroad for a new life where they were often mistreated. The selected works are by artists that come from diverse ethnic backgrounds with their own unique experiences with human rights issues, ready to share their stories with the world. In line with Justice Centre Hong Kong’s commitment to diversity and inclusion the judging was conducted blind, with the jury not given access to the artists’ age, experience, gender, name or nationality.

The Hong Kong Human Rights Arts Prize is one of the few events in the city that honours the power of art as a catalyst for social change, dissent and the defense of human dignity. The winner of the Prize will receive one of Asia’s most prestigious art awards alongside a cash prize of HKD35,000. Two runners-up will each receive prizes of HKD7,500 and HKD5,000 sponsored by private donors. Three new categories have been added to this year’s Prize. The Justice Centre Award of HKD2,500 will be presented to the artist whose work best reflects the organisation’s mission and Student Award which is open to Hong Kong-based secondary or high school students. The ‘45 Seconds for Human Rights’ Award, sponsored by Goethe-Institut Hong Kong will be presented to a short film of exactly 45 seconds and the winner will be flown on a one-week trip to Berlin (flight and accommodation included) to explore one of the world’s art and culture capitals.
香港人權藝術獎 2020 評審 Katie Vajda 表示:「恭喜所有入圍香港人權藝術獎 2020 的藝術家, 他們將所觀察、希望和恐懼巧妙地轉化為引人入勝的作品。整個入圍名單都能看到許多逼切的人權問題,不出所料地當中不少作品以香港當前令人痛心的政治局勢為主。很高興能夠看到 Justice Centre Hong Kong 繼續支持這個以藝術表達自由的平台,一個讓香港藝術家講故事和供我們聆聽的實體和概念性場所。」
“Congratulations to the artists who have made the Hong Kong Human Rights Arts Prize 2020 shortlist, each skillfully translating their observations, hopes and fears into engaging and thought provoking visual narratives. Many pressing Human Rights themes are addressed throughout the shortlist, however, unsurprisingly the entries have been dominated by pieces dealing with the harrowing and ongoing political situation in Hong Kong. Wonderful to see Justice Centre Hong Kong continue to support this platform for freedom of artistic expression, a physical and conceptual place for Hong Kong artists to tell their stories and for us to listen,” says Katie Vajda, Hong Kong Human Rights Arts Prize Judge.
