PLM is an artists collective consisting of Art Hur, KWKIKI, Toi-Yee Doris Ng, Nora Fong Bao, Sharu Binnong Sikdar, and Jen Yoohyun Lee. Their mission is to explore the multifaceted dimensions of communication and investigate how understanding is achieved across diverse communities.
The collective believes that art serves as a powerful communicative tool, fostering a sense of commonality and intimacy despite differences. Through their work, they aim to bridge language barriers, particularly those existing between the Hearing and Deaf worlds, while raising awareness about Hong Kong Sign Language, Deaf culture, and the richness of linguistic identities.
PLM's artistic practice encompasses a variety of media, including performance, installation, painting, drawing, and video. Each medium allows them to engage with audiences in unique ways, inviting participation in the dialogue they strive to create. Together, they hope to cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation of the diverse ways in which people communicate and connect.

One of collaborations of this project is between Deaf artist Nora Fong Bao and hearing artist Sharu Binnong Sikdar. It resulted in five handmade comic strips that reflect their individual talents and their journey of communication through patience and mutual respect. Their partnership not only breaks down communication barriers but also fosters a deep friendship. Installed in an intimate space, the comic strips invite visitors to engage with the artwork.
In order to highlight the nuances of communication between the Hearing and Deaf worlds, the collective further documented their processes into videos and performances, talks, tours and workshops showcased during the exhibition period. These events aims to enhance viewers' understanding and appreciation of the diverse ways we connect and communicate.
