"Heritage Vogue · Hollywood Road 2022" is a mini celebration of the history, culture and arts ambience of the Central and Western district. It features guided tours, workshops, exhibitions, art, outdoor movie screening, traditional culture and performances. Among those performing are singer Carol Cheung and friends. Not only can you explore histories, cultures and lives in person, you can also do so through video games and simulations. Many game designers and developers are now using their work to immerse users in worlds of historical story-telling, cultural heritage and community experience. “Game Atlas: The Archeology of a World not Far-away” that took place in late October, was an event that gathered 14 game designers from 12 cities in Asia and Europe to share their perspectives on the gaming world. It was curated by Allison Yang and presented by Goethe-Institut Hong Kong and M+ and in collaboration with the City University of Hong Kong and art space Current Plans.

On show at the Axel Vervoordt gallery, “Chasing An Elusive Nature” is Jaffa Lam's first solo exhibition in nine years. Trained in calligraphy and classical Chinese painting, today Lam works mostly with sculpture and multi-media installations. Referencing the famous furnace of Taoist philosopher Laozi, the large installation “Taishang LaoJun’s Furnace”, consists of five hundred rock sculptures cast by a local veteran metalsmith from 50 stones Lam collected along Hong Kong’s coastline. Lam also uses local soil, recycled natural and industrial materials to explore local heritage and history in a series of works that relate to some of her earlier pieces.
