With Enid Tsui, author and journalist
In this talk Enid explores the themes of her new book, Art in Hong Kong: Portrait of a City in Flux.
She will discuss Hong Kong's M+ museum and other venues that have to tread a tightrope between celebrating a distinct and vibrant culture based on different influences and abiding by the new national security regime.
Enid Tsui's new book will be on sale at the talk.

Contemporary artist Cheung Yee, whose work is on display at the Ashmolean in a special exhibition open until 7 September, appears in the book as a leading figure of innovation in the Hong Kong art scene, especially during the 1960s, when the city established its own identity as an artistic centre.
This event is part of our Connect & Collaborate season of events.
