Plastic artist Alice Kok Tim Hei, who heads the Art For All (AFA) group, will be the executive director of The Script Road Macau Literary Festival, a newly created post, the event’s prime mover announced in a statement yesterday.
According to the statement, local Portuguese journalist Carlos Morais Jose will be the festival’s programme director, succeeding Helder Beja, one of the festival’s founders, who quit the annual event earlier this year after he had reportedly “semi-officially” been told that three of the event’s invited writers – among them Wild Swans author Jung Chang (known as Zhang Rong in Putonghua) – were unlikely be allowed to enter Macau.
Morais Jose publishes the Portuguese-language Hoje Macau daily.
