If you are into street art and graffiti in Hong Kong, you may find the name and the face of Alexandra Unrein (Alex) familiar. Alex, aka streetartorama, is a street art photographer, tour guide and author. Over her 15 years of dwelling in Hong Kong, she has immersed herself in the vibrant world of street art, conducting personal interviews and capturing the essence of the city through her lens.

Lately, she has taken up another daunting task of self-publishing a book on Hong Kong Street Art. Self-publishing means a process of taking on all roles of a traditional publisher, from writing and editing to design, from marketing to distribution. For Alex, it also means selecting her own photographs, communicating with the artists she interviewed and flying between Berlin, where her designer and adviser lives, and Hong Kong, where the printing and distributing will take place.

While the journey of self-publishing might not be as colourful as the street art in Hong Kong, it is for sure exciting if not unnerving. Whether you are interested in Hong Kong Street art or you are planning to self-publish your own photobook, we welcome you to join the sharing and Book Launch with Alex on 25th October.

Sharing: 365 days - My incredible Journey of Self-Publishing Time: 15:00 - 16:00

Book Launch - COLOURFUL HONG KONG – STREET ART STORIES Time: 17:00 - 19:00

Venue address: 14/F Hong Kong Arts Centre, 2 Harbour Road, Wanchai

Over the past two months at Para Site’s 10/F space, Sam Lui has devoted her residency tothe  reflection and retelling of ‘Wendy’s Wok World’—a persona-driven project thatunpacks the  disciplinary world of wok-cooking alongside questions of purity, secrecy, andauthenticity. Through the Bad Purity Book Club and her studio research, Sam hascollected and deepened her conception of how authority and identity are performed,fractured, and concealed.

In this closing gathering, Sam is joined by Wendy, who rarely appears at the same time.When both are present in the same room—artist and persona, self and other—what kind ofdialogue emerges? What is purity to them, what secrets do they carry, and where doesauthenticity reside? Blending narratives, (auto)biographies, and performances, Saminvites us to witness these layered conversations take shape.

This gathering also marks the final day of Sam’s residency, a chance to bring togetherfriends and communities in celebration. Join us to close this chapter together.

Performance at 5:30pm

To mark the closing of the exhibition ‘Take Turns’, artist Wing Po So will collaborate with Andio Lai in a live performance that brings the exhibition to a resonant conclusion.

The interplay of movements and sounds has been a core component throughout the exhibition, emerging from natural materials such as abalone shells, dried beans, and recordings of the processing of traditional medicinal materials. In this live performance, So will gather and extract sonic elements through movement and materials integral to her practice, engaging with both the displayed works and the surrounding exhibition space. Through audio recording and mixing, Lai will arrange, transmute, and fuse these sounds into a ‘sonic decoction’. The performance will unfold in three chapters: beginning with an introduction of the distinct sounds of materials induced by various motions, before evolving into a sonic exploration of different ranges and textures, and concluding with a participatory jam session.

Following the performance, Para Site and the artist will host a casual gathering to celebrate the closing of the exhibition. Light refreshments will be available. The event is free and open to all—no RSVP required.

On the evening of Friday, 4 April 2025, M+ at Night: Beyond the Frame will offer a special night where dynamic lighting, energetic music, exciting creative activities and drinks take over the museum. Pablo Picasso once said that he spent his entire life learning to draw like a child. His works radiate a boundless sense of freedom and vitality emanating a raw, rebellious, unfiltered creative energy. Decades later, his legacy continues to shake up the way people see art. Inspired by the Special Exhibition The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Picasso for Asia—A Conversation, M+ at Night: Beyond the Frame will dive into Picasso’s legacy from a whole new perspective through art, music and dance. Ticketholders will also get exclusive access to visit this spectacular exhibition after regular museum hours during the event.

Tai Kwun presents its annual event Artists’ Night on Friday 28 March 2025, a captivating fusion of visual art, installation, live performance, experimental events and music that revolves around the themes of AI, body and ritualistic encounters. From 6pm till midnight, this evening programme activates multiple venues across Prison Yard, celebrating emerging and experimental musicians and visual artists from across the world and the region.

Empty Gallery and Artists Space are pleased to present Charlemagne Palestine live at Empty Gallery.

Charlemagne Palestine is an American composer, performer, and visual artist. Palestine has studied at New York University, Columbia University, Mannes College of Music, and the California Institute of the Arts. A contemporary of Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Phill Niblock, and Steve Reich, Palestine wrote intense, ritualistic music in the 1970s, intended by the composer to rub against Western audiences’ expectations of what is beautiful and meaningful in music. A composer-performer originally trained to be a cantor, he always performed his own works as soloist. His earliest works were compositions for carillon and electronic drones, and he is perhaps best known for his intensely performed piano works. Palestine’s performance style is ritualistic: he generally surrounds himself and his piano with stuffed animals, smokes large numbers of kretek, and drinks cognac.

Please RSVP to contact@emptygallery.com. This event is free and open to all, RSVP essential.

The performance will take place on the 18th floor, and the gallery will be open late with special hours until 10pm that day.
