The #MeToo movement spread all over the world in 2017. Many people use this hashtag to tell stories on social media,, of them having been sexually assaulted in the past. There were incidents like Lui LaiYiu, #ChurchToo and #ProtestToo in Hong Kong. This shows the generality of the problem, regardless of gender, serious underreporting, victim blaming and the general fear of online trials, etc. The campaign aims to break the silence and empower the victims with empathy and strength in numbers. After #MeToo, what else can art do on this topic? Twelve artists of Post #MeToo Art Exhibition have different answers. Their art tried to extend the spontaneous power of #MeToo and enhance the public’s awareness of issues of sexual violence.
