The Hong Kong Museum of Art has received a generous donation of 123 sets of precious artworks from the family of Hong Kong calligraphist Jat See-yeu (1935–2009). Eighty-five sets of the newly donated artworks are on display at the exhibition, which invite audiences to explore Jat’s world of calligraphy and experience his bold and pioneering ideas. Visitors can also join the virtual tour, aided by an online map, to explore Jat’s calligraphy rooted in communities in Cheung Chau and other places in Hong Kong. Whether visiting these locations in person or navigating them from the comfort of their homes, visitors can get a sense of the deep bond between Jat, Cheung Chau and Hong Kong, as well as the rich Chinese cultural vitality within our city.

Kung fu and martial arts films, as well as their associated industries, have always been integral to Hong Kong’s pop culture. This year holds special significance as it marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the legendary writer Jin Yong and the 20th anniversary of the passing of James Wong. To honour these influential figures, the Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival 2024 has adopted the theme of ‘Arts & Action’, offering a journey through time to explore Hong Kong’s pop culture from new perspectives. The diverse programmes will feature thematic exhibitions, film screenings, stage performances and engaging outreach activities.
