In July 2025, Clara Cheung and Gum Cheng at C & G Artpartment participate in “Constellation of Complicity: Visualising the Global Machinery of Authoritarian Solidarity" curated by Myanmar Peace Museum at Bangkok Arts and cultural Center (BACC). C & G's installation, titled “Anti-Spy Spy Club,” declares that “authoritarian regimes just love to spy—not just on their own people, but on yours too. Borders mean nothing ....”

The artworks reveal China's transnational repressive operations in the UK in a 5m-wide painting, and invite audience to begin a paper-based rebellion, by
* Decoding secret numbers
* Designing DIY surveillance gadgets,
* Creating paper spy guns.

C & G believe that art and creativity are forms of resistance that empower individuals. AND, This is precisely why the Chinese Communist Party CCP) fears and pressured BACC to censor exiled dissident artists who stand together! Following complex negotiations between Thai authorities and the Chinese Embassy, not all artworks have been removed. However, the artist names of dissident artists, Clara Cheung & Gum Cheng Yee Man (Hong Kong), Mukaddas Mijit (Uyghur) and Tenzin Mingyur Paldron (Tibet) have been blacked out.

In Tenzin’s installation, the following materials have been removed

1. a Tibetan Flag
2. a Uyghur Flag
3. a video of Tibetans carrying Palestinian flags while calling for accountability for genocide,
4. a film titled "Listen to Indigenous People”
5. a postcard about China’s imperial machinery
6. “We Measure the Earth with Our Bodies” a novel by Tsering Yangzom Lama.

C & G Artpartment strongly condemns the CCP Regime for transnational censorship, and urges the public to visit the exhibition and spread awareness. "Constellation of Complicity” exhibition opened on July 24 and is slated to run through October 19, 2025. As of August 4, the exhibition remains open but partially censored and under ongoing surveillance, while BACC's webpage uses "United Kingdom-based duo artist" to refer to C & G, "France-based artist" to refer to Mukaddas Mijit (Uyghur), "United States-based artist" to refer to Tenzin Mingyur Paldron (Tibet).

C&G藝術單位強烈譴責中國跨境審查

C & G 藝術單位 的 Clara 同阿金於2025年7月,參與由Myanmar Peace Museum策劃、在曼谷藝術與文化中心(BACC)舉行的展覽 “Constellation of Complicity: Visualising the Global Machinery of Authoritarian Solidarity" 。 C & G 的作品(Anti-Spy Spy Club)明確指出:「威權政權熱愛監控——不僅是對自己人民,也對你們。邊界對他們而言毫無意義……」 作品邀請觀眾,參與紙本革命:
* 破解神秘代碼
* 設計自製監控裝置
* 製作紙製間諜槍

C & G 堅信藝術與創作是一種強而有力的抵抗。

也正因如此,中共(CCP)才會恐懼,並向 BACC 施壓,要求對一眾連結起來反對中共極權嘅藝術家進行審查。 泰國藝術館管理層與中國大使館之間進行多番協商後,異議藝術家的作品雖未全面下架,但展場中,香港 (Clara Cheung & Gum Cheng Yee Man), 維吾爾(Mukaddas Mijit) 、、 西藏 Tenzin Mingyur Paldron 三組藝術家的姓名已被塗黑。 西藏藝術家Tenzin作品,以下內容亦被移除:
1. 西藏國旗
2. 東突厥斯坦旗(維吾爾旗幟)
3. 一段展示藏人高舉巴勒斯坦國旗並呼籲對種族滅絕追責的影片
4. 一部名為《聆聽原住民族之聲》的紀錄片
5. 一張批判中國帝國機器的明信片
6. Tsering Yangzom Lama 所著小說《我們以身體丈量大地》

C & G 強烈譴責中共跨國審查,並呼籲公眾前往參觀展覽,積極傳播真相! 展覽自 2025 年 7 月 24 日開幕,預計展至 10 月 19 日。截至 8 月 4 日,展覽仍在進行,但部分內容已被審查。
