The co-founder of Hong Kong-based contemporary art space Para Site, Leung is an Associate Professor in the School of Creative Media at the City University of Hong Kong. He has exhibited internationally in institutions including Venice Biennale, NRW Forum and M+. Currently, Leung is on sabbatical leave in London to research in the National Archives.
