Hong Kong officials, led by Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law, inaugurated the Hong Kong Exhibition at the 61st Venice Biennale on May 8, 2026. For the first time, the Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA) is collaborating with the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC) to present works by local artists Kingsley Ng and Angel Hui in a Collateral Event running through November 2026. Law also attended the Chinese Pavilion opening and met with the Italian ambassador and the rector of Ca' Foscari University.
This exhibition marks a significant milestone for Hong Kong's cultural diplomacy, as the HKMoA and HKADC jointly showcase the city's artistic diversity on one of the world's most prestigious contemporary art stages. The collaboration signals increased institutional coordination and government support for Hong Kong's visual arts sector, reinforcing its presence in the global art dialogue amid ongoing geopolitical shifts.
