She is also the author of I am Ho Sik Ying, 55 years old (2013), Everyday Life in the Age of Resistance (2015), and co-author of Umbrella Politics Quartet (2015).

Her research-based multimedia theatre “Sex Love and Hope: Ho Style” (2013) and “Labouring Women Devised Theatre” (2016) call for the imagination of new modalities of social action beyond those that are historically recognized or culturally sanctioned as being “political” to include various forms of cultural interventions.
