Overview

Description

The visual culture of our city from the 1960s to now

Told through individual and collective histories, Hong Kong: Here and Beyond captures the city’s transformation from the post-war decades to the present day. Home to ground-breaking artists, architects, designers, and filmmakers, Hong Kong is a site of intense creative ferment and social and cultural transformation. Divided into four chapters—Here, Identities, Places, and Beyond—the exhibition presents the visual culture of Hong Kong through multiple and intersecting perspectives, mirroring the dynamism of the city itself.
