Extension of ‘Beginning a New Decade: Art for a Sustainable Future’ until 1 April 2025

This exhibition showcases artworks by 11 artists from Hong Kong.  These artworks explore the environmental challenges at the nexus of art and climate change.  Each artwork is a heartfelt response to the beauty of the natural world and conveys the urgent and complex environmental challenges we face.  It invites us to reflect on our own actions and responsibilities in protecting our planet, and to recognize that we each have a role to play.  By fostering a deeper understanding of the climate issues affecting us all, these works encourage us to join hands and collaboratively shape a sustainable future for ourselves and for generations to come.
