In conversation with Contemporary art talents, Leelee Chan and Eunice Tsang, the first episode offers a diaristic view on the meaning and impact of homecoming, which entails rekindling friendships and finding one’s connection to Hong Kong’s art community. After spending thirteen years in the United States, BMW art journey’s ninth recipient and sculptor Leelee is currently embracing her artistic roots in Hong Kong and is not shy to confront her struggles as an artist during her many formative years abroad, and to share with us her life-changing revelations as a material researcher traveling across Europe in times of Covid-19.

Similarly, Eunice’s current curatorial and managerial tasks in artist-run space, Present Projects, consist of numerous practical and emotional challenges, especially under pandemic uncertainties. Whilst sharing her art school years in London and past professional experiences in different arts and cultural institutions in Hong Kong, such as RTHK, TimeoutHK, and Tai Kwun, Eunice offers us invaluable insights into the optimistic development of experimental exhibition spaces in Hong Kong and the growing art gallery and local artisan culture in Sham Shui Po.

Whether your homecoming experience was fun, complicated, uncomfortable, or fulfilling, join us this session to discover Hong Kong’s current art destinations and what lies ahead for the city’s art practitioners and emerging visual art spaces.
