Yung Sau-Mui

Yung Sau-Mui is a Hong Kong-based printmaker, arts administrator, and researcher who serves as Programme Director at Print Art Contemporary (formerly the Hong Kong Open Printshop). She is a member of the International Mokuhanga Association (IMA) Board of Directors for the 2025–2027 term, and works as a Museum Advisor (Hong Kong Art) and researcher for the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong government, as well as an assessor and arts advisor for the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.

Yung trained in printmaking in Hong Kong before continuing her studies in the United States at the University of Alabama and the University of New Mexico, and she was a Printer Fellow at the Tamarind Institute, a leading center for lithographic printmaking. Returning to Hong Kong, she co-founded the Hong Kong Open Printshop — the city's first non-profit printshop run by artists, launched in 2000 — and has been a driving force in the development of printmaking in the city.

Her research centers on the history of Hong Kong print art, with particular attention to lithography and Chinese movable type, including the "Hong Kong Type" — a set of Chinese movable type cast in Hong Kong in the mid-nineteenth century that had a significant international impact. She curated the exhibition and accompanying publication "Between the Lines: The Legends of Hong Kong Printing" (2020), produced with the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, which traces the history of printing in Hong Kong.

Yung is a member of the Association of Print Scholars, and in 2017 she presented research on the history of Hong Kong woodblock printing, from the 1930s to the present, at the International Mokuhanga Conference.
