Hong Kong Forecast

Public Event

February 2025

The Weather Forecast series captures the cultural temperature of key locations ahead of major global art events.

In this event, we turned to Hong Kong - a city of striking contrasts where a rich blend of East and West inspires its artists and where institutions must now navigate the complexities of a new national security law. 

Speakers included:

Enid Tsui, Arts Editor at South China Morning Post and author of new Lund Humphries publication “Art in Hong Kong: Portrait of a City in Flux

Dee Poon, President, Brands and Retailing, Tessellation Group and Board Member of M+ Museum

Eunice Tsang, curator based between Hong Kong and Italy, Founder of Current Plans and Associate Curator at M+ Museum

Jaffa Lam Laam, Hong Kong-based artist specializing in large-scale, site-specific and mixed-media works

Mimi Chun, Founder and Director, Blindspot Gallery

Drawing inspiration from John Maynard Keynes’ concept of animal spirits (the emotional mindsets that drive markets), these conversations uncover how emotional factors like confidence shape the art landscape.
