Hong Kong | 2025 31 May 2025  Blood-stained Tiananmen Setup at Victoria Park for June 4 Event? Preparation for a patriotic food carnival at Hong Kong's Victoria Park - the former site of the city's annual Tiananmen candlelight vigils - has begun, with installations of Chinese city gates in red that look like Tiananmen. The setup is reminiscence of the scene at the bloody Tiananmen massacre, where thousands of students and workers who had been peacefully protesting for political and economic reforms in Tiananmen Square were killed by the Chinese military on June 4, 1989. This year marks the third year that the Hometown Market will be held on June 4, the anniversary of the Tiananmen crackdown. The event is organised by pro-Beijing groups and will run from June 1 to June 5. Causeway Bay .

Hong Kong | 2025 28 May 2025  TempHome Stories Exhibition "Temporary Home: Permanent or Non-permanent Home" Exhibition ▷ Regarding space and home, this is a schizophrenic city full of paradoxes. ▷ Between those who have not yet settled down and those who want to settle down, some are lucky and some are not. ▷ Why can’t we see the pain regarding “home”? ▷ For many people, feeling safe at home is a luxury. ▷ In a city that stretches the "temporary" into almost permanent, the concept of permanence seems even more ambiguous. ▷ For the spatial study of our city - there is no movement of social classes with the pressure of housing. The exhibition focuses on literary works about temporary housing in Hong Kong from the 1950s to the millennium. Through the writings about different types of temporary housing, such as shanty towns, resettlement areas, refugee camps, transitional housing and subdivided flats, the exhibition explores the relationship between home and space, and reflects on how living, moving and passing through the paradoxical city is a process from "Hong Kong living" to "living in Hong Kong". Curated by Fong Tai-chor who spent a year researching the link between home and dwelling in Hong Kong from novels and films. Illustrator Enoch Wong was invited to present the concept of home in a visual form, showing the atmosphere of the times through the coexistence of reality and fiction. May 18 - June 7, Lobby, Eaton Hotel, 380 Nathan Road, Jordan, Hong Kong Jordan . Hong Kong | 2025 27 May 2025  Artistic Dialogue Blossoming in Urban Gaps A flower blooms quietly in the crevices of the city, is a site-specific inflatable artwork in the heart of Tai Kok Tsui. Organised by the Hong Hong Arts Centre and funded by the @urf.hk , the RE:Tai Kok Tsui Public and Community Art Project’s latest installation “Nobody is Somebody” has been unveiled. Created by architectural firm Soft Space, it is the brainchild of architect Manfred Yuen. The large-scale inflatable flower emerges from a stairwell beside 75 Bedford Road, Two Bedford Place — symbolising the tension and vitality that arise during urban transformation. Inspired by the site’s unique boundary overlaps and spatial constraints, the project is a reflection on resilience and possibility. Through artistic intervention, the work re-imagines how we engage with overlooked urban voids and invites the public to unearth hidden potential within the cosmopolitan. Launch: April 2025 (Limited-time installation) Tai Kok Tsui .
