Discover Hong Kong’s living culture memories connected to the city’s neighbourhoods through a tactile, sensory experience – the interactive activation “Auntie Angel Store” invites you to a nostalgic journey drawing inspiration from Hong Kong’s traditional tuck shops, commonly known as “士多(si6 do1)”, by the locals.

Reimagine the nostalgic charm of traditional “士多 (si6 do1)” through the display of Angel Hui’s new series of blue-and-white ceramic artworks. These pieces, inspired by beloved local snacks like ice cream, chips, and soft drinks, beautifully capture the essence of “士多 (si6 do1)” and its significance in the fabric of local culture.

Blue-and-White ceramics, ceramics and fiberglass sculpture

“Si6 do1”, located in every neighbourhood in Hong Kong, is an important component of the city’s living culture. Featuring mostly small businesses offering a diverse range of goods, snacks, and capsule toy machines, these tuck shops serve as social hubs through their people-centric charm, deeply rooted in Hong Kong’s community. This project not only presents the fond memories of Hong Kong’s tuck shops, but also breathes new life into them, blending traditional Chinese aesthetics, contemporary art, and a rich slice of Hong Kong’s daily life into a staple lifeblood of the city’s living culture.

Visit “Auntie Angel Store” to explore a rich tapestry of Hong Kong’s iconic “士多(si6 do1)” culture.

Great Love

From ancient to modern times, across East and West cultures, love, is one of the most important virtues in the pursuit of life.

Earth Production x LC Dialogue Talk: Making Sustainability Happen for Real

Art related events like exhibition, fairs, performances, workshops are all short-lived happenings that required heavy load of resources and materials in the production — how can we work out a realistic approach to the balance of such consumption with the cultural, artistic and social impacts delivered?

In this conversation, an expert in event management sustainability, a performance arts professional and the art consultant being a partner with the fair for three years are going to share insights and experiences with the audiences who care to contribute positive developments for the humanity in this era.

The talk will commence on 24 May, 6:30-7:30pm at the Creative Hub.
