#HongKong has long been mocked as a cultural desert, but IT IS NOT! After the turmoil of last year, we will never be the same, our art will never be the same.

#HongKong humour is not all about Stephen Chow! Our #FreedomofSpeech is already so narrow, thank god we have wonderful, witty and strong illustrators who help defend it!

Art appreciation post!

It’s been a while since we’ve post some artsy stuff because ccp related news have drowned us.

But it would be cool if you can check out Ai Weiwei’s art, especially with his latest documentary about Hong Kong protests.

Anw his work is really creative and interesting. One of my favourite fr!

The national security law’s crackdown on #freedomofspeech has descended upon M+ museum, a contemporary art museum the international art world has been setting its eyes on for years. Should the government censor works in the museum, it would not only be a huge loss for local and overseas audience, but would also be a blow to #HongKong’s claim as an international art hub. Why would any tourist come to #HK if it doesn’t have anything any big #Chinese cities can’t offer? Why would #ArtBasel hold its profitable fairs in HK if works may be retracted any minute merely by invoking a sham law? Yes, #CarrieLam, you’d better be careful with this one.

#HongKong M+ museum's works are slammed by pro-#CCP politicians for "inciting hatred", the museum has confirmed that #AiWeiwei's photograph of him raising a middle finger at #Tiananmen Square will not be on view when the museum finally opens its doors to public. With pleasing #Beijing the city's priority over everything else now, it'd be a wonder if #HK can stay on as Asia's art hub.

#UliSigg, the #Swiss collector who donated over 1,500 pieces to the museum broke his silence on these "politicians'" attacks. Art reflects reality, it may make us feel uncomfortable, but it reflects the truth. Why is the HK and #Chinese government so anxious to censor the truth?

#HongKong has just wrapped up another edition of the international #artbasel fair with ever-narrowing free space for artistic creation in the city. Our artists are still finding ways to transform important memories of the city into #art and it's worth taking a look. It's also got us to think what does being an "Asian art hub" means? Just millions of dollars of art transactions, or does local #Hongkongers have any part to play?
