Join us for a talk by Hong Kong arts writer and journalist Enid Tsui. Drawing on her recent book, Art in Hong Kong: Portrait of a City in Flux (Lund Humphries, 2025), Tsui will present a succinct but incisive view of the development of recent art in Hong Kong, while delving more deeply into a selection of work by key artists and curators who have particularly shaped the city's contemporary art scene. As a journalist who has reported on key chapters in the transformation of Hong Kong's resilient cultural sector over many years, Tsui will also reflect on the outlook for Hong Kong art and artists amid ongoing geopolitical challenges.
