This June, in the gleaming surroundings of Hong Kong’s Spring Workshop, Singaporean artist Heman Chong and Dutch novelist Oscar van de Boogaard led a four-day fiction workshop. The annointed participants of “A Fictional Residency” included visual artist Nadim Abbas, writer-director Enoch Cheng, journalist Doretta Lau and artist collective MAP Office. During eight-hour days, the writers nested with their laptops across the converted book warehouse and regularly convened to read drafts aloud. At the end of the week, their short stories were bound and published.
