Biography:
Shaw Tze (b. 1926, Shanghai, China)

Shaw Tze relocated to Hong Kong from Beijing in 1951 and subsequently took up positions in Mainland-funded publishing organisations such as Sinminchu Publishing (1951–58), Peace Bookstore (1958–64) and Joint Publishing (1964–86). Shaw participated in the 1967 riots and was jailed for a year for the involvement. He began painting after his retirement in 1992.

In this interview, he shares his perspective on the interaction between art practitioners and the publishing industry in 1960s–70s Hong Kong, particularly on the publications and resources circulating at that time. He recounts the political climate in the 1960s–70s, including the 1967 riots, and also discusses exhibitions led by Joint Publishing in the 1970s–80s.

Shaw lives in Hong Kong.
