Charis Poon is an artist and teacher who makes zines, audio art, comics, and texts. She teaches Social Design at the Hong Kong PolyU School of Design, where she experiments with how teaching and learning happen. Her practice considers poetics in communication, learning through making, slow growth, and collective endeavours. A Hong Kong resident all her life, she has moved from Kowloon and the New Territories onto Hong Kong island. Poon frequently visits outlying islands with her dog Koopa to hike and explore.
