ST[ART] AGAIN - Night of Ideas 2021 in Hong Kong [fr]
“The Night of Ideas (Nuit des Idées)” is coming back to Hong Kong! This year, the event is co-organized with the Hong Kong Museum of Art, under the theme “ST[ART] AGAIN”. This event will take place online from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. on Thursday, 28th January 2021. Come to our Facebook and YouTube to participate.
For this edition, we were invited to rediscover the role of art plays in our society, to revisit the definition of museums, culture and art, and to learn the great challenges and evolutions they will face post-2020.
- To what extent art can unite us in these exceptional times and accompany us through the great changes we are experiencing.
- In which way art, culture and museums are essential to our modern societies.
Insightful debates will be unfolded between prestigious museum directors, curators, artists and art lovers from both France and Hong Kong around crucial role art plays in our contemporary world. Take this exclusive opportunity to meet with these leading artistic and institutional figures and take part in the discussion! A live will be recorded on the Consulate’s Official Facebook Page/Youtube Channel.
