From Central to Kowloon, here are all the artworks and exhibitions you should see around Hong Kong
No wonder March is fondly referred to as art month in Hong Kong. For a city that never runs out of cultural offerings, the city saves the best for March, putting on the most stimulating, thought-provoking and aesthetic exhibitions.
And this time it’s all happening on a larger scale. Not only is Art Basel scaling up to its pre-pandemic size with over 240 galleries participating, but also homegrown arts fair Art Central is moving back to its original big events site at Central Harbourfront. New events this year include Supper Club, a night-time exploration of art and culture, and an alternative art fair titled 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair at Christie’s.
With so much to see, it can be hard to decide where to start, so here are Tatler’s picks organised by districts.
