$eng = 'Xyza Cruz Bacani is a Filipina documentary photographer whose works and story has been featured in the New York Times Lens Blog, CNN and other international media. While working as a migrant domestic worker in Hong Kong for almost a decade, she used photography to raise awareness about under-reported stories on migrants and human rights issues. Sheila S. Coronel, Dean of Academic Affairs and Director of Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, says, “Photographer Xyza Cruz Bacani shines the light on the inner lives of migrant domestic workers and makes a plea for recognising not just their rights but their humanity.”'; $chi = '來自菲律賓的Xyza Cruz Bacani的作品曾獲紐約時報Lens Blog、CNN及其他國際媒體廣泛報導,作為一名曾於香港工作接近十年的外籍家庭傭工,Xyza致力利用攝影去發掘未被關注的議題,聚焦於移民及人權等題材。美國哥倫比亞大學新聞系研究院Stabile調查報導中心總監暨學術事務院院長Sheila S. Coronel認為:「攝影師Xyza Cruz Bacani的鏡頭聚焦於外籍家庭傭工的喜怒哀樂,向世界提出無聲的訴求,為外傭爭取生而為人的權利和尊嚴。」《活著如風》是WMA委託計劃的成果,由資深公共藝術策展人李林嘉敏策劃,亦是Xyza首個以此為題於香港舉行的個人展覽。李林嘉敏認為:「這次展覽不單只是呈現了外傭因經濟困難而出外謀生的痛苦和掙扎。我更樂見的是,這些影像流露着人與人之間真摯和細膩的情感。這些女性在城市一隅,與本來素未謀面的人交會,彼此靠近,慢慢建立起友誼來。」'; echo $cccapps->CCC_LANG_get_article_txt($eng, $chi); ?>
$eng = 'Curated by Melissa Karman Lee, We Are Like Air is the public presentation of the WMA Commission project. “We Are Like Air is not only about illuminating the pain and survival of living abroad and from economic urgency leaving your loved ones an ocean away. This exhibition is also about the celebration of very tangible friendships and intimate connections of which they blossom or grow in astonishing places between unexpected people,” says Lee. Xyza, who used to be a domestic worker herself, reclaims the story of the migrant worker that has been told countless times by others. She is telling their own tale - not as victims, but as champions who have overcome many hardships in life. The exhibition portrays the experience of millions of mothers, daughters and families whose lives have been disrupted by migration. The exhibition title, We Are Like Air, comes from the idea that migrant workers are treated like air – invisible but important.'; $chi = '展覽從攝影師個人故事出發,重現外傭的工作環境,以物品及錄像講述攝影師家庭中兩代均於香港工作的經歷和點滴,深度呈現外傭離鄉工作後的無奈、掙扎與迷惘,對家人及故鄉的切身影響。同時展出多張未曾公開發表,以在港外籍家庭傭為題的攝影作品,交織出一道完整的香港外傭故事。'; echo $cccapps->CCC_LANG_get_article_txt($eng, $chi); ?>
