Detail: Time: 11am-1pm

Speaker: Christina Chu, art historian and retired museum curator

Hong Kong art is rooted in Chinese culture and colonial experience. An understanding of the historical background of Hong Kong culture and the historical development of art in Hong Kong is essential to the study of Hong Kong contemporary art. This talk will unfold histories that fall outside mainstream discussion, including the historical context before the arrival of the British and up to the 1960s and its influence on Hong Kong art.
