‘Overriding the Light of Day’

“In the post-truth era, how do we critically engage with the flood of messages, and the intentions behind them?”

Victoria Harbour undoubtedly changed the fate of the small island that is Hong Kong. 

WMA’s New Identity, New Strategy

In today’s digital era, images are pervasive while image making has become our everyday medium of expression. As a response to the immediacy of the digital landscape, WMA will recast its direction to bring together cross-generational and cross-geographical discourses on Hong Kong through lens-based art.
