The British Council announces its second art exhibition, 'Gleams and Echoes', at the newly transformed 'Bookshop Gallery'. Curated by Hong Kong curator Wong Ka-ying, the exhibition brings together the British Council Collection and creations by local young artists, transforming the Bookshop Gallery into a vibrant platform for artistic exchange, weaving together new sparks of artistic perspectives between the UK and Hong Kong through creativity, contemplation and dialogue.
'Gleams and Echoes' builds upon the 'GREAT Art' zone jointly presented by the British Council and the British Consulate-General Hong Kong at the Hong Kong Rising Contemporary Art Fair in May 2025, with a redesigned theme. This exhibition breaks free from the art fair format, delving into cultural identity, artistic expression and local characteristics through a dialogue between the British Council Collection and the creations of Hong Kong's new generation of artists from a fresh perspective.
Venue address: British Council, Basement, 3 Arbuthnot Road, Admiralty
