Many know Wong Hoy Cheong as someone who wears many hats. Not only is he a visual artist – and one who has a floor in the Deutsche Bank Headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, named after him – but also an educator, writer and political activist.

His interests, and indeed the concerns raised in his work, encompass a broad range of issues, from identity and indignity to migration, marginalised histories and globalisation.
